GREAT book! Way better than the movie!

My boss recommended this book to me acouple years back way before the movie came out. At first I wasn't to sure since he tend to have a different genre than I when it comes to reading, but I purchased the book and I loved it!!! I couldn't put it down...and once the movie came out I was glad I had read it...I definitely recommend!!

I love this book. With three little kids I have very little time to read. This is one of those books that I made time for and couldn't put down. Very easy read.

I loved this book oh so much! It's probably one of my top 5 books I've read throughout my life. I haven't seen the movie, so my recommendation for this book is based only off the book. I enjoyed Robert Patteson's character the most in this book because he's such a risk taker, but mostly he's just a young boy in love with the beautiful girl who rides elephants. Robert's character works hard to get to Reese Witherspoon's character but I won't ruin the ending for you. I loved the ending the most!

Fell head over heals for these characters. I love the how it delves into the seedy past of Circus' and the explores the individuals who make up the Circus. From the performers to the laborers to the management. The madness of the depression and what one had to do to earn a living. Very good book.

This book is great! It's a page-turner with a great storyline and a nice ending.

I was very surprised how much I liked this book! It immediately sucked me in, and was very fun to read. I actually really liked the movie too, which surprised me even more! The book was better though. I definitely recommend it!!!

One of my top 5 most loved books. I loved the story and it was one of those books that was written so vividly you felt like you were there. I didn't want this book to stop but it ended nicely. I dont usually pass on my books too often but I bought 2 copies just for this purpose. The movie doesn't do it justice of course. I hope Sara Gruen can continue this kind of writing in future books then she'll have me hooked for life.

I know I am in the minority here but I didn't think the book was great. After all the hype I expected this amazing story and for me - it wasn't a page turner. I was surprised by the ending and it left me wanting more of the story in between to be developed. That being said, it was worth reading.
