While the idea of the book was good, the actual book was not. It was very poorly written and I found myself skimming most of it. Overall, not something I would recommend to others.

I read this book two years ago and I still think about the story today.It is a beautiful story of a man trying to find a second chance in life.
If you enjoy Mitch Albom stories
you will enjoy this book.

Book utilizes an imaginary circus as a metaphor for review of the main characters life and as a vehicle for change. All of the ride "attendents" are more like individual life coaches who each have a message for the central character. The book is meant to inspire not as a how too book which seems to be a little too abundant in recent times. Nice story, well written--inspires us to walk the tightrope and be willing to take the fall. Also pleasant is reoccurring theme of love.

This book was quite good, and would make a great movie. Very uplifting ending and lots of lessons learned by the characters through their journey in the story. May help readers to pause and reflect on their lives and what they could do to give it more meaning.

What a sappy piece of crap! But one reviewer did right that this would make a good movie. And it probably would be a great movie cause the sappy crap would come off better as a visual aide. Show dont tell. Too much telling of sappy crap.

Very good illustrations about how life is like a circus or fair and how you get stuck in ruts and all that, but just some sappy crap.
Maybe I felt that way cause I didnt need to learn any of the life lessons so they just came off as corny to me.

204 pages of sap, and crap.
