Helpful Score: 1
After several contemplations and reading of reviews, i finally got this book. I didn't think i'd care for the circus-scene...but i have to say it was interesting, and i really got to love Jacob (both young and old). I feel i learned a lot about how a circus operates and it was pretty interesting. I did not, however like the way the animals were treated, but that doesn't damper how i review this book, as Gruen was simply using her research to authenticate her circus portrayal. I believe the author, who before writing this book, had never even been to a a cicrus did a great job creating the atmoshpere and i like the inclusion of the pictures here and there. Overall, this was a great book about survival, love and "life under the big top"....and i loooove Rosie (the elephant!)
