Christine (luvmygem) - reviewed on 4/18/2010 + 86 more book reviews

Fantastic book. Some books can be hard to follow when using various flashbacks, but as at least one other reviewer noted the effect in Sara Gruen's novel is seamless, telling the story how it was meant to be told - as an elderly man recalling his life in a Depression-era traveling circus, with glimpses into his thoughts and feelings as he approaches the sunset of his life. A wonderful read - you feel like you know all the characters, both human and animal.
