Characters for The Night Circus

       In The Night Circus the magician's little girl is grown up now. She started off as a little girl with some magic of her own. However, now she is grown up and is about to face the magician's competitor and his subject. With her life at jeopardy, she knows how important her performance is. A funny thing happens though. The magician's girl has fallen in love with the competitors subject! Forbidden love? Never heard of that before. Due to the girl's dilemma, I am intrigued to learn about what she will decide to do. Luckily for her though, its a mutual attraction. Hope this ends well!

The Night Circus has done It again guys! Another plot twist.! If I failed to mention it the Magician's daughter is magic! Now, the magician is having his only daughter compete against his competitor and his "project". Which is simply another person. Each magician is training their players to compete. What I'm getting from this is that the loser... loses their player! So Mr. Cocky Leonardo DiCaprio, real name is Hector, is putting himself in jeopardy of losing his only daughter! He doesn't seem too concerned however. Lets see how this ends!

Book Recommendation

      A Book that I am highly recommending right now is World War Z by Max Brooks. This book is a real thriller and will have you tearing through the pages by the first chapter. I have just finished this novel along with my independent novel for English class and I think it is one of the best books I have read.
      Basically, this book is a collection of documents (mostly interviews) of a "zombie invasion". These interviews are all by this one man who is going around trying to collect as much information about this "war" as possible. His intentions are to prevent this from ever happening again. Also to inform future generations about it and how to survive or prevent it. While this is a great read, you are probably going to need a strong stomach to survive this book.!

The Night Circus

         I am making steady progress through my independent novel "The Night Circus" and am pleased to say that I have already stumbled upon a twist. The great and powerful magician's daughter... is... magic.
        I find this odd because when reading this, I was thinking this whole circus was just illusions and schemes like all magic shows. (Sorry if I offended anyone ha-ha). However, this little girl can move things and break things using her mind... Much like Matilda from another beloved novel. So this makes me think maybe this is the actual real deal we are talking about. When the magician saw this little girl of his do such a thing he didn't seem the list bit startled. If anything, he was rather amused by this discovery.
       With this great twist I seem to be enjoying something about the girl that is a bit more subtle... her attitude. This magician is getting his world flipped upside down with this little stubborn kid. If you ask me, its a humbling experience for Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio like man... anyway... I'm stoked to continue my reading.

Reading Skills for "The Night Circus" redo

The independent novel I have chosen to read is "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. I have barely made a dent in the book and I am already hooked.  What I have gotten so far is a man is a great magician and he has a competitor. No big deal right? Well, one day this great magician finds a little girl in his office with a note clipped to her shirt. When he discovers its a suicide note from this girl's mother and that he is her dad.. lets just say he has had better days.
          For some reason, I keep thinking this magician is going to get his daughter taken by his competitor. However, this book may be a little too complicated to be that predictable. So with great excitement, I will just have to find out.
         Another thing is, I keep going back to Harry Potter with this book. Its not exact of course but the abandoned child dumped on a family member, magic, its there you know?
         Also,  I find myself questioning this magicians ego. I didn't mention it before but this guy is a little full of it and keeps making me think of Leonardo DiCaprio... yuck!
                                                                  Anyway, I highly recommend this to any young adult-                                                           adult reader.
