hswhite 's review for:

The Invisible Circus by Jennifer Egan
2.75
dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A good read with a slow beginning and an at-times frustrating main character. Enjoyed the tour through Europe though felt like some of the details could have been truncated. A bit long winded at times. Also, very focused on past events and flashbacks, which became tiresome after a while.
