Not anything like I expected. It is sad it had to be made into a movie before I picked it up. I glanced over it in the past at book stores but maybe it was the cover that kept me from picking it up? Just another case of judging a book by its cover I guess.
The book is a love story as the new cover suggest and it goes down in a traveling circus setting. Written from a male prspective Sara Gruen does an excellent job of portraying the main character Jacob so well that I forget I am reading a female author by the end of the book. Again another judging a book by authors name/gender problem I have some times... but I am working on it ok.
The movie I am hoping holds true to the book and if it does it should make for a great theater experience. Also this book makes me want to go the circus, like right now! After learning more behind the scenes information I feel like I would appreciate the circus much more now. I would go out and get this book if I were you. You can get it cheap from Amazon with my link or pick it up almost anywhere as the movie has gained it more popularity.
If you have any questions or suggestions hit me up, I want to make this blog a more interactive one and that means YOU have to be involved! :)
