Just happened to run across this book. Previously never heard anything about it. I thought it was excellent.

This was a very enjoyable book to read. It introduced me to the world of circus life that I knew nothing about, and had a great believable story.

Really good movie!

Really good movie!

I loved this book. The plot was so dynamic. The movie was ok, but the book was excellent. It's a quick read and once I started, I couldn't put it down!

I read this book because of all the hype and because there was a movie coming out. I thought it was okay but not spectacular. It was a little slow at first but did get better. I say it is worth reading, but don't rush out to buy it, borrow it from the library or a friend.

I really liked this book. I also saw the movie and it is a drama, action, and love story all rolled into one. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but the ending is bittersweet, but good. The movie is great. I would recommend this book to anyone and it is an interesting read with a behind the circus theme.

the book was a good read but a lame movie, as so often happens. the author sped through some parts where i would have liked a bit more detail but it kept my attention, not an easy thing to do.

I read the book and then watched the movie. I loved the book and as usual...was not as happy with the movie. I liked it well enough but of course a book is always better than the movie and I like to create my own images in my mind and not let a director do it for me first.

Both the book and movie are wonderful.. The visual and mental imagery were a story that will stick with me forever! My husband, 6yr old and I just enjoyed how vivid the imagery was told in the story... Then the movie had us awe struck!
