Twilight honestly didn’t sound like my cup of tea when I was first told by friends what the story was about. However, one of them dared me to read it, interested in what my opinion would be.

To be honest, I had to force myself to keep going past page six. Bella honestly struck me as a total idiot. I remember my teen-aged years, and know that we don’t all make wonderful choices during them, but good night! She’s interested in the guy who looks at her like he hates her and wants to kill her? Really?

Actually, the only character I had any liking for whatsoever was Jacob. Bella was an overdramatic doormat, Edward was…I don’t know, but not a very appealing character, and all the rest, even the bad guys, seemed like watery back drops to the unsettling, weird relationship developing between Bella and Edward.

Book Description

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by Fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety or ninety-three, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an un-trainable elephant who was the great hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.

This book came to us as a recommended read from several sources. Once selected, we could not possibly put it down. The author, Sara Gruen, builds the detailed and fantastic world of a travelling circus during the Great Depression from the ground up! The story of Jacob Jankowski is one of sorrow, love and at times terrifying. His constant emotional struggles can be related to by many readers (though perhaps not as fantastical) and will captivate the imagination. The other characters Gruen constructed are perhaps the most remarkable outside of young Jacob, as with any circus, they all act their parts accordingly … with flawless precision.

One does not need to be a circus aficionado or historical reader to take pleasure in this novel, for it contains a little of everything to captivate any bookworm. We guarantee you will not be able to put this one down!

Great Product, Except the (Cheap) Rope. This is a great product and idea. The brackets seem very strong and the product worked perfectly as advertised. That said, the rope that accompanies the product is either too cheap or not the correct type for the product’s design. If you only plan to lift the bike up to the ceiling once a year, then you will probably be fine with the rope that comes with the product. However, daily or even weekly use will likely burn through the rope quickly. After lifting my bike one time, I noted a fray in the rope–I believe Disney Cars Boys Bike (16-Inch Wheels) occurred where the “locking mechanism” locked onto the rope. I intend to find a more durable rope/cable very soon. No five-star rating because of the rope.
