A review by joanneisreading
The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler

3.0

This story had a lot going on, and I wanted to give Simon the main character a shake something fierce. He was doing a lot of research, and was very intelligent but he was just like ‘bad luck Bryan’ the whole time. That aside, the story was great, lots of period history, interesting look into the traveling circus life. The Circus is usually a topic I would steer clear of because of the animal abuse situation over the years but this one did not have many animals it, and the few were very loved.... this one in particular was a human side show.
