This book was one of my all time favorites. It was very different, as far as the storyline. It was very well written and left great things for discussion. Also made me want to take my kids to the circus - I really appreciated the elephants much more! Loved it.

There are way too many characters in this book. You never form an attachment or relationship to any of them. The whole book is pretty much spent trying to bring them all together, which never really happens. The end of the book seemed like he was just trying to get it over. On the upside, it is an easy summer read, but with little substance. Not much to talk about here.
