Review: General concensus was that it was a well written book. Pam disliked the animal cruelty which therefore left her not caring for the book. Cindi and Holly both enjoyed the book. One of Holly's new favorite books. Had good discussion about the treatment of the circus employees and whether or not it is realistic.
