Circus Life And Make Believe
The book is a slow read only because it is full of so much detail mainly about the characters. I am about half way through and it is reminiscent of Water for Elephants so far. Well I have now finished and let me just say this is the weirdest book I have ever read. It is so unbelievable in parts it makes the story difficult to read. Its saving grace is that it is totally unlike anything else out there. It took some type of imagination to conjure this up. I would not read it again and cannot see how it was a National Book Award finalist.
