Book Summery: Jacob, a young vet college study leaves town. Hops a train later to find this wasnt any train but The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. He gets hired on and work as their vet.
My Take: Amazing!!!! Read this a good 4 years ago opened it up and loved it just as much as I did the first time. Holds something for everyone, love, murder, and a very unexpected hero. The book is written as a man who is in his nineties in a nursing home[estimating at least 5 chapters are the old man] as he remembers his days working on the circus. This book is rich with unexpected turns that are purely delightful. Sucked me right into the time of the circus during the depression and didnt let go till the last turn of the last page.
Perhaps im so hooked because I adore elephants, But there's no way it is that, the book is just written beautifully. Must Read.
