Great read. An interesting and absorbing story that hooks you in the beginning & doesn't let go. No wonder they made it into a movie!

Read this book a couple of years ago. It was kind of a slow start but I decided to stick with it. Boy, am I glad I did! One of the best books I've ever read.

i loved this story, its sucked me in from the very beginning. The author gave such in depth descriptions of the behind the scenes of a traveling circus its was like i was right there with them.

What a wonderful read. I felt like this book brought me into the past. I could see the story line so vividly. I felt like I lived through the adventures.

I was totally sucked into this book! It was very interesting to see the inside workings of a traveling circus. Good Job Sara Gruen!

Good book, one that I wanted to keep reading (which is always a good sign). I liked it more in the beginning than I did by the end though.

This book is a griping tale of the days gone by. So many of the books I connect with are written from the female voice. Reading a book with a male's voice as well as someone from a different generation was refreshing. The story like is dark in many places, but the underlying store of love keeps you turning the pages. Like many of the other remarks here, I felt the movie didnt develop the emotions near deep enough and the ringleader wasnt as slimy as I imagined him to be. However, any movie with Robert Pattinson is always worth seeing.

I loved the book and was looking forward to watching the movie when it came out. However, I was highly disappointed by the movie version. The book was SO much better!

I loved this book but hated the animal abuse. Never in my life will I attend a circus where animals are not in their natural habitat. STOP ANIMAL ABUSE!

Great book - I read it years ago, but saw the movie last night and was disappointed (as I usually am when the book is great).
