"A story of impossible love and a way of life lost forever. Orphaned, penniless, Jacob Jankowski jumps a freight train in the dark, and in that instant transforms his future... By Morning, he's landed a job with the Flying Squadron of the Benzini Brother's Most Spectacular Show on Earth. By nightfall, he's in love. In an America made colourless by prohibition and the Depression, the circus is a refuge of sequins and sensuality. But behind the glamour lies a darker world, where both animals and men are dispensible. Where falling in love is the most dangerous act of all..."
For June. :)

So.... for some reason I haven't gotten this book yet. I thought for sure that I had put it on hold at the library, and I thought it was a little funny that I hadn't received it yet. So, I will be reading it as soon as I get it and writing a review then. :)
I finally got the book from the library! Woohoo! I read it, and loved it. I was a little skeptical at first because of the actors in the movie version. I know that's absolutely no reason to not read a book, but I'm just not a fan of Robert Pattinson... at all. (I didn't even see the movie.) Anyway, I thought this was a well written story that kept my attention very well. I liked the stories of the circus behind the scenes, but had a hard time getting into the love story part because of my mental pictures of the main characters from the movie. Oh well, it was still a great read, and definitely one I would recommend.
