Running Away With The Circus!
Review of Circus Mania by Catherine Howard - 5-stars (Amazon)
I really loved this book. The author obviously loves his subject. He has an easy to read, relaxed style and has gone to a lot of trouble to speak to all the right people. Every page simply buzzes with memorable characters and quotes. There are so many different stories here, some funny, some sad, all fascinating. Every page was full of interest. It made me want to rush out and see another circus, straightaway. What I liked the most was the fact that the author doesn't preach. This is especially noticeable when he looks at animals in circuses. He handles this emotive subject brilliantly, managing to give both sides of the argument. I was left with the rather comforting feeling that the circus is here to stay. To quote the last line of this really excellent book - `Circus is very much alive and juggling.'

Hi Douglas,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the book. I've just begun my own blog and - following on from your very useful piece for Writers' Forum - need a bit of additional advice. How may I PM you, as I can find no 'contact' tab?
Have a good weekend.
