It is a fascinating tale that weaves time and family and each unique situation together. The carnival theme was an interesting take as well. 3.5 stars

A magical realism tale that centers around several generations of a circus family. The characters were interesting, but the story kind of loses its way about two-thirds of the way in. It should've been 100 pages shorter to keep the story sharp and concise, and it needed a cleaner ending.
I'm also going to echo another reviewer and say that Simon shouldn't have been the main character. The main character should've been a woman who worried about her family's past and her own future.
It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. I got for $1.25, so I can't really complain.
