As one fascinated by circuses, maybe even obsessed, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to assemble Gruen's imagery of a Depression-era circus. From the transforamtion of an empty lot into the vast circus experience in a matter of hours to the construction of an elephant act, I reveled in the moment and still dreaded the shrinking number of pages remaining much as I would guess a child savors a day at the Big Top. Without including any spoilers, I will just say there was a lot more depth to this book than I anticipated. I understand there are a few elements of the book some of my friends who have read this book could do without so I should probably give it a cautionary recommendation--no book club suggestion from me--but there's so much good in this book that I can't help but think anyone who enjoys dissecting the layers of a good story would enjoy it.
