The text-based analysis of Salvatore’s polyglot idiolect shows that this is more than a simple and confused mixture of Latin, German, and some Romance dialects and languages.

![]() ![]() The magicians Prospero the Enchanter and the enigmatic Mr. The circus serves a darker purpose beyond entertainment and profit. The magical nature of the circus is occluded under the guise of legerdemain the illusionist truly transforms her jacket into a raven and the fortune teller truly reads the uncertain future, and both are applauded for their ingenuity. A network of devoted fans styling themselves "rêveurs" ("dreamers") develops around the circus they identify each other by adding a splash of red to garb that otherwise matches the characteristic black and white of the circus tents. ![]() The circus has no set schedule, appearing without warning and leaving without notice they travel in a train disguised as an ordinary coal transport. Le Cirque des Rêves, the Circus of Dreams, features such wonders and "ethereal enigmas" as a blooming garden made all of ice, acrobats soaring without a net, and a vertical cloud maze where patrons who get lost simply step off and float gently to the floor. The Night Circus is a phantasmagorical fairy tale set near an ahistorical Victorian London in a wandering magical circus that is open only from sunset to sunrise. ![]() ![]() ![]() Aletha George continues to deliver Kitten's mannerisms, naivete, and inner dialogue with perfection. Loving My Pack is a gratifying end to the My Pack series. Any author who puts this much passion and imagery into a complicated story with a plethora of main characters and various plot developments actually, FINALLY deserves my money. Upon first listen, I've bought them and knew I would purchase the 3rd audiobook. (If you read my other reviews, you'll see what I'm sayin'.) Okay, so I've purchased/listened to tons of audiobooks since listening to the first two "My Pack" books, but I still find myself going back and listening to both books (5+ times so far) instead of starting new, purchased audiobooks. Really! I've lost SO much of my hard-earned, barely-there cash purchasing audiobooks based on your positive reviews that I'm seriously reluctant about purchasing anything by new authors, or authors who put their plots on "repeat" for various series. ![]() But, wait! Technically, this is YOUR fault, readers. Instead, I.er.listened to "otherwise-uploaded versions".lol. ![]() Okay, full disclosure here, I did NOT purchase the first two books in this series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Living and working in the same building on the Rue Cardinale, she learns the truth about her grandmother-and herself-and unravels a family history that is darker and more painful than she ever imagined.

Most of all, it was simply a rattling good read. The book brought together many of the features that I’d most admired in his stage work: the humour of Noises Off, the addressing of serious issues to be found in Benefactors and the painstaking research that lay behind the brilliant Copenhagen. It was my initial encounter with Frayn as a novelist, but I’d known his work for the theatre long before that. As I said in my previous post, I first read this when it came out back in 1999 and loved it then. We’ll be discussing novels that are focused on works of art, starting with Michael Frayn’s Booker short-listed Headlong. Most of my reading at the moment is centred on the books for this year’s Summer School which begins on August 19th. ![]() ![]() ![]() Skeptical by nature and profession, Doyle labors to prove that the events he has witnessed - horrifying visions, zombies, ghouls, molecular alteration - are elaborate ruses with logical explanations.
