A Lovely Dark Dream, Beautifully Narrated.

Revisado: 09-27-11

Jim Dale could read me the ingredient list off a ketchup bottle and I would love it, something about the way he narrated, the changes in pitch, tone, accent, and cadence that he glides between so effortlessly is wonderful and gives a story so much more. He truly lifts it off the page and breaths it into life!



That said, This book is far more interesting than ketchup bottle contents in its own right. It’s Intricate, enchanting, and imaginative, quite like the interwoven pieces of an ever expanding and simultaneously repetitive dream. There are moments where you would swear you’ve heard this part before but it’s different, at another time and place and you experience a sort of pleasantly mysteries dezavoo. The story skips around between people, places and times, and will keep you wanting more. You’ll find yourself drawn to certain characters and then being torn away from them and waiting breathlessly for their reappearance while listening to something that for the moment may seem irrelevant but in the end will aide you greatly in understanding the grand final. From the very first page you can feel the underlying edge of darkness and mystery that never relents, but there is a wonderful and ever growing level of beauty to it. I would have given it five stars but I wasn’t entirely happy with the ending, but perhaps I was simply not ready to leave “Le Cirque Du Reve”.
