Ein schönes Buch, vielleicht nicht überragend aber definitiv irgendwie besonders. Ich fand den Blick ins Zirkusleben total spannend, die Tiere (besonders Rosie :D) und allgemein gab es viele tolle Charaktere (denen es aber leider oft an Tiefe mangelt). Zuweilen hat mir Jacob als alter Mann noch viel besser gefallen als während der Rückblenden. Ein schönes Buch für "Zwischendurch" :) ...more
