    This book in my opinion was awesome. Many things happen, some expected and some surprises. Stephanie wastes no time delving into the book, I hate long boring beginnings to any book ;) ... I'm sad to see this is the last one from Bella's perspective. But I am looking forward to the other books she will write, perhaps from Edward's or Jacob's perspectives.

    I could see how this book can be a slow read for some. It makes you mad and confused. Especially the part about Jesus. It might have been better if the part about Jesus was actually true.

    This book was just ok. I really did not love the circus part of the story. The story line had a little depth, and it had a few surprises, but I guess I just didn't love the circus act.

    Not a fan! It was a tough read. Don't get me wrong, it is a sweet story, but only people who love DETAILS will truly enjoy this book. For me the story didn't move fast enough, it was slower than molasses. And the story didn't really have any depth.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. It was sad but humorous at the same time. "Lets skiddadle, Rex Walls style!"

    I've read a few of Maeve's books, and loved them all, except for this one. Like one of the other commentors stated, the book was hard to follow. I actually had to make note of the characters with a brief statement of how they relate to the story. I was disappointed as I hoped she would have wrapped up the story by tying in all the characters. But unfortunately each chapter introduced a new character without fully developing the characters within the context of the story.
