SouthernYankee (USA: TN) (2008/09/04):
I thoroughly enjoyed this book although I didn't expect to since I don't usually read books involving animals and am not a big circus fan. It was a good combination of the depression era, grieving process, and love story. The cast of fascinating characters were fully fleshed out.
Teresa (USA: AL) (2008/09/17):
I loved it! I stayed up until after 3 am just to finish it so I could see what happened. Parts of it made me laugh, others made me cry, and some parts just plain out made me mad. I highly recommend it, expecially for animal lovers.
Sarahb (USA: GA) (2008/10/07):
WOW! If you're wondering if this book is up to the "hype", yes it is.
A real page-turner! Loved it!
samanthanbr (USA: MO) (2008/10/20):
Lives up to the hype. Keep a box of kleenex nearby!
Allison (USA: KS) (2008/11/20):
To be quite honest...I wasn't a fan. I read it through, because I felt obligated to due to all the high praise I read about...but I honestly didn't like it, as much as I wanted to.
Kasey (USA: CA) (2008/11/21):
Loved it!
Clair (USA: VA) (2009/01/11):
I loved this book. My favorite for 2008.
shan (USA: VA) (2009/04/01):
LOVE IT WITH A PASSION. Would recommend it to everyone because we all want to read a good book. Do not miss out on this book it is a must read no matter what your favorite genre may be.
Kelly (USA: MO) (2009/06/11):
Maybe I was just really exited about reading it but the book didn't read up to expectations. The story was intriguing and had it's moments but it felt like the writing style had been dumbed down which was very disappointing. It's uncommon perspective of circus life is what saved it really.
Tia (USA: CO) (2009/07/05):
Who knew I'd learn all about circus life? Parts of this book I loved, but others didn't live up to my expectations. Overall the book was a little depressing . . .
Melissa Linette (USA: PA) (2009/07/14):
Loved this story...I think any woman who reads this, especially as you get nearer to the end, will long to be adored the way Jacob adores Marlena. Loved the way it ended although I would have liked more info on what happened to the rest of Jacob's family.
Ratsfarm (USA: KY) (2009/08/26):
I was very disappointed in this book - especially after reading some of the reviews. I think it may be one of the 10 most depressing books I have ever read. I read to escape, not to relive the worst things in life - mine or anyone else. Lesley
alisonk (Cyprus) (2009/10/07):

missmay (Canada) (2010/01/27):
Wow, amazing book! This is a definate must read!
Emily (USA: MO) (2010/02/11):
A fun book that I reluctantly started, but couldn't help but finish. It bounces back and forth between the story of a young man come upon some bad luck who joins the staff of a circus crew (by accident more than anything else) and his older self, stuck in a nursing home at the age of 90...or is it 93? Really gives you insight into the life of a nursing home resident and how that's not what they've always been - they were once more alive than any of us!
Shelby (USA: NH) (2010/02/22):
Best book I've ever read! such a touching story. kept me going the whole time. so entertaining!!! LOVE ITT!!
Daynica (USA: CA) (2010/07/11):
This is the best novel I've read in a good long while. Definitely lives up to the hype--a must read!
