This is not normally a book I'd pick up but a friend recommended it and I'm glad she did. Its all about the old time train circuses and the subculture that existed within them. I'm not a fan of circuses, in fact I've never been to one, but I love learning about unfamiliar cultures and I was surprised by how interesting it was. Gruen did extensive research on the subject and a lot of characters and events in the plot are true.
