Absolutely riveting, captivating, addictive. I was reading it on a vacation in Florida and I couldn't wait to get back to it at every moment possible. I'm not a fan of the circus or of magic and I thought the book would disappoint. However, this is not a circus in any earthly sense, but a timeless love story and a story of rivalry; it has visual descriptions that are fascinating. Imagining the "special effects" in this book is better than actually seeing anything a Hollywood studio could produce.
