Engaging and atmospheric. An easy flowing read. Enjoyable., 13 Aug 2008
Length:: 8:05 Mins
A well-researched, fast-paced, engaging and ultimately satisfying novel. Set mostly in a depression era travelling circus the atmospherics are beautifully captured by Sara Gruen. Let down a bit by some wooden dialogue and a failure to develop lead characters to their full potential. But, the lack of plot and player depth doesn't matter too much in this well-told yarn. I liked it: my wife and her friends loved it. A good holiday or weekend read.
