Industry Reviews
"For pure story, this colorful, headlong tale of Depression-era circus simply can't be beat. Heroes, villains, romance, a wild-animal stampede! Big fun from page 1."
(12/28/2007)

"Gruen skillfully humanizes the midgets, drunks, rubes and freaks who populate her book."
(05/26/2006)

    I just finished this and like others here I must say once started it is hard to put down. Many characters to get to know. I liked the way it jumped back and forth from the past to present. A GREAT read! If you like this I recommend Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived. Another great book.
