I was super excited about this one...and only slightly disappointed.
The only real gripe I had about content was that in several places, God's name is used in a way that I wouldn't feel comfortable using it but I don't know that it's necessarily in vain either.
I loved the story although I did feel that it was a bit anticlimactic.
The fact that it stayed clean when it could have gone south several times made me very happy :)
It was fun reading about behind the scenes circus life and I loved that real characters such as the Ringlings were a large part of the story as well.
Does this make you think of the movie The Greatest Showman?
ReplyDeleteThe author's name is familiar, but I can't recall if I have read her work. I'm trying to remember if you have liked her other works, or if you have read them. I guess I could just search your blog. :)
Just did the search--now I know why it is a familiar name. She is a good writer, but her subject matter can be heavy at times (at least for me, when I am looking for light, escape reading). Was this book a bit lighter?
