A review by marlo_c
The Flying Circus by Susan Crandall

3.0

To qualify, I loved Whistling Past the Graveyard by Crandall, so when I saw that she'd written another, I was excited. As I read, the excitement quickly turned to disappointment. While I liked Henry's character, Gil and Cora were only mediocre. The biggest turn-off was the amount of language. A little bit doesn't bother me, but I'm especially averse to the f-bomb and taking God's name in vain. There was enough of both to detract from the story. It's difficult for me to believe that omitting some of those words takes away from the authenticity of a story. I'm just rather sick of the whole slide in decorum in this area of the culture. As far as the plot, it was a bit predictable but still enjoyable, and I read it fairly quickly.
