loved this book! Kept me interested every chapter that of course i had to finish the entire thing in 1 night! Loved it even more after seeing the awful movie remake. Also enjoyed the authentic photos throughout the book

Liked the movie but LOVED the book! I love the 20s circus era!

This is beautifully written and heart touching. I loved every minute of it.

This is a great read! It is not only a love story but more importantly it is the story of a bond between man and beast. Definitely worth reading.

I read this book several years ago and it remains one of my all time favorites! It's so unique and just an all around great story. I loved the romance of it but more than that I loved reading about the early days of the traveling circuses (which the author researched in order to be historically accurate in her writing). It was so fascinating and after finishing the book I found myself wanting to read more about the subject myself. Definitely would recommend it to anyone and actually let a couple of friends borrow it after recommending it to them! P.s.. The movie in no way compares to the book (as usual).

I loved this book, it had something that appeals to everyone. Love, action, adventure, animals. Speaking of animals this book opened my eyes to animal cruelty. I mean I know it exists but it broke my heart reading about how the animals were treated in the circus. the story about Jacob & Marlena, it was sad & intriguing as well. I recommend curling up with this book.

Read this book in a day! Great book and great movie to follow.

I could not put this book down!!! It was one of the best books I've read in a while. I am almost afraid to see the movie now because I don't want to ruin it.

I absolutely loved this book! I could not put it down. It's a great story.

Loved this story!! I read the entire thing over a 24 hour period. Literally could not put it down. Written wonderfully.

I read this book and it is still one of my favorite books. I really felt like I was in the 1920's. I never wanted to see the movie because the book was excellent I didn't think the movie could even come close to the book. It really made you laugh and it definitely made you cry.

I loved this book. I could not put it down. I still haven't watched the movie because I do not want to ruin the book.

I never saw the movie so I can't offer a comparison but I loved the book. It was well written and a very quick read.

I bought this book because I saw the movie trailer. I didn't know there was a book until a friend told me. I didn't expect much, because I really didn't know much about it. The book held my attention from page one until the end. It was masterfully written. The author painted a picture so brightly that I could see the scenes and smell the smells of the circus as if I were there.

This book is absolutely AMAZING! Once i started i could not put it down, i felt like i was actually living through the writer's eyes. After falling in love with the book, i decided to watch the movie and it was nothing in comparison to the book, i found myself reading the book all over again just to get back into the mindset and forget about the movie. 5 stars for sure!
