This book completely drew me into its world. I read it in three days, including one night where I literally couldn't bring myself to put it down. The characters were carefully developed, and the world of the traveling circus served as a fascinating backdrop to their conflicts. As quickly as I read the book, I hesitated over the last few pages, wishing that I could hear more of The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.

The book was interesting, to say the least. Would I read it again? Possibly. Would I watch the movie? Probably. But overall, I liked this book. I give it a solid 3.5 stars.
