The Night Circus (6 points)

The Night Circus is an interesting take on the Narrative of Spiritual Education. I found myself wanting to read more because I am not a huge fan of this genre category. I was enrolled in this universe that takes place in Victorian London. For this reason, in particular, the story is about the magic that happens in a circus. I do not even like the circus and yet I wanted more from this book.

Another aspect of the book that I liked is that the book was almost like a dream or a fairy tale. It didn't feel realistic; however, that does not matter. The book created a lore that is easy for the reader to understand. It was understandable not just from a blogger’s perspective but also for an everyday reader. 

I especially was interested in how they talked about acrobatics. I could imagine myself flying through the stage and doing those crazy stunts. Even mire was the magic I was reading in the book. I mean that literally because illusionists show the true meaning of magic. Celia is one of the main characters of the book, seeing transformations take place.

The book also had mystical elements to it. Everything in the book has some sort of magic to it. It is so well done in this way because it reminded me of reading Harry Potter. I like how the magic felt apart of this universe. It is also felt as if it was always meant to be in this book, meaning the circus elements.

In reading the book, I could imagine the decor. The lightning that felt inviting at different points in the book. The amazement of the performances that were done. I cannot even begin to imagine the decade that this book took place. It just felt so alive. I thought it was spectacular and the way it was done.

So to conclude in this book, the book tells an incredible story, not just incredible. The book made me believe in the power of magic again. I never thought in a million years that a book would make me want to see a magic show again. The circus itself was filled with so much life and darkness to it. An example of this is that the book showing the darkness is in part they care about the profit of the company. Even though this takes place in a circus, I thought that this book was so much more.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (6 points)

After hearing through all 12 audiobooks, is what I think they are called. Any who I noticed a fantastic change of pace than just reading through a book. Instead a monologous reads this, as it is not a short story or book. No, it is something more or something greater than the sum of its parts. It is a radio show, yay.  Although that’s not to say I got bored after hearing the 8th audio reading because his voice was so boring, like really boring. So, this blog is not the average blog I do. This is a blog about hearing about another science fiction book, let’s begin. When hearing the dude speak, it was very profound. Almost like I was watching Citizen Kane or one Orson Welles' War of the World’s reads. Even though there are different versions of Guide to The galaxy, they all follow a guy named Arthur Dent. The plot follows the destruction of earth by aliens but don’t worry this one is different. As the plot thickens it turns out that the earth was a giant supercomputer, what. I know,

The Handmaid's Tale (5 points)

  The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian future as women are subjugated and are slaves in this universe. Many of the women are forced to reproduce children. People who disagree with the government are killed on the spot. When reading the setting and tone, it tells of a society where women are subjugated, like not allowed to read or write. In most dystopias futures, world is full of totalitarianism. An example is the book 1984. As I kept on reading the book by Marget Adwood, I realized the tone is very bleak and desolate. When the United States collapses, Gilead takes over as the government and it shows the dangers of this. The book is also a work of feminism, as it tries to explain what could happen if people are not given rights. The show and the book are very different. While the show takes place in modern day society. In the book, it takes place in the 1980’s. Although the same government and plot happens in the book. Handmaid’s tale has a world where newspapers and the press are censor
