Interesting storyline to say the least! The style reminded me of The Notebook...old people reminiscing about their past, the story jumps back and forth to the past, then to the present. The first chapter really draws you in, it brings you right into the middle of the book during the most outrageous scene, then clips you off and starts back at the beginning. Too late! You're hooked and must read on to find out what happens!

Great book. I love the circus, and I love books about life and growing old. I think it was a fabulous ending. Made me happy, even though disappointed to be done with the book.
