Summary
Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus. In the Depression Era, Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the Benzini Brothers ‘Most Spectacular Show on Earth’. There he meets the freaks, grifters, and misfits that populate this world: Marlena, beautiful star of the equestrian act; August, her charismatic but twisted husband (and the circus's animal trainer); and Rosie, the seemingly untrainable elephant Jacob cares for.

This certainly isn't a favourite book of mine, but I'm glad to have finally read it. I found myself longing for the parts of the book which featured the elderly voice of Jacob which made the story come alive with emotion. While some aspects of the romance within this book was fine, some of it I could have done with not reading. It was way too cringy for me. I think it was due to this, that left me not caring about the romance that was going on, and the two characters involved. Overall, it was an entertaining story, just not one that will stay with me.

Wonderful. Fun. Totally sweet and very different. I could skip the having sex areas. Too vivid. Takes away from story. Very very engaging.
