Re: What is so fascinating about circus life?
The entire book is an "oxymoron" in a way. The day-to-day existence of the characters is made real, and they are not the superhumans we perceive them to be. To be able to do their jobs, they needed to escape, much like we sometimes want to. Thus, the drug dependencies...

I think that’s the best way of putting it I’ve seen. The people and their acts are different and I think many people crave that variety—that spice— but feel pressured by a narrow-minded society not to accept it.

There's also an air of mysteriousness about the whole idea of the circus, since a lot of the acts seem almost like magic, and there's a lot of suspense to that. That's probably why you see so many stories and shows that are set in circuses, because they promise you something out of the ordinary.

I think it seems like fun and adventure to a child, the trapeze artists look glamorous and exciting. The stunts look incredible. It's exotic and feels like being in another world where everything seems a little magical and it seems to make people happy to be there.

Answering to your question
I find circus life really adventurous and full of new experience
It has been years since I last visited any circus.
It is quite difficult for me say about circus life described in thos book as I am yet to read the whole book
