The book is a quick read, with short chapters that keep the reader engaged. The book has a satisfactory ending that ties up loose ends.

Robinson's writing is evocative and skillfully captures the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the circus life. The characters, particularly the sword swallower and the Chico kid, are richly developed and endearing.

It is unfair to judge individuals based on their circumstances or use it as an excuse for engaging in negative behaviors. One's background should not determine their worth or impact.

Thank you for your review. I have also just finished reading it and I could not agree with you more. I also found the addictions and living life so precariously difficult to read at times. I would get frustrated at their carelessness.
