sterk men krevende, spesielt pga lengden. det var en del jeg ikke følte jeg trengte - Arnold Nilsens introduksjon, for eksempel.

Echt een prachtig boek. Er zit zoveel moois tussen al het trieste en treurige.

Het verhaal draait om Barnum, die opgroeit in een disfunctioneel gezin samen met zijn halfbroer Fred. De chemie tussen die twee is echt heel bijzonder neergezet. Het verhaal bouwt heel mooi op en je krijgt van alle gezinsleden een goed beeld, waardoor je je goed kan inleven in de gebeurtenissen. Het allermooiste stuk van het boek vind ik als Vivian en Peder in het verhaal komen, hoe de verhoudingen liggen en hoe schrijnend sommige situaties dan zijn vind ik zo subtiel neergezet, heel ontroerend.

Dette er boken som fikk meg til å gå bort fra min regel om å alltid lese ferdig en bok. Nå har jeg en DNF (did not finish) liste… For etter å ha investert i boken og tvunget meg gjennom så kom slutten og jeg rev meg i håret. Selv nå (2023) husker familien min hvor sur jeg var da jeg hadde lest ferdig boken!
