Overrated? Yes, but still worth reading. The good: the Depression-era circus is fascinating and the story of the animals & good-hearted people breaks your heart. I particularly liked the main character & the perspective of him recounting his circus days from the nursing home was well-written. The not-so-good: I was never too convinced of the love story between Jacob & Marlena and I found the ending to rush up very fast and be a little over the top.
My opinion is to give this a chance, but not have the sky-high expectations that I had after reading so many glowing reviews.
