I have to say that I really really loved this book. It's a very easy but enjoyable read, imo. I have never read any other book like it, it's very different. Alot of the "bad guys" I found to be very likable and I loved the world that Elliott drags you into. I don't think anyone who reads this book will ever look at clowns or the circus the same way ever again. It's a darker read but I also found it to have very funny moments through out the book. So if anyone is looking for a darker read that's actually different and some what funny, I highly highly recommend this book. I will def. be keeping my eyes out for another Will Elliott book.
