pixcat 's review for:

4.0

A light, easy read that was very entertaining, particularly for me as I love a good carnie book, as well as historical fiction set in NYC. Hoffman started in the classic narrative chapter 1 - this character, chapter 2 - that character, chapter 3 - back to the first character, etc., lives are apart but you know that eventually the two characters would come together. No spoiler there. Nothing was mind blowing about the story or particularly important. I'd say more 3.5 than 4 stars, but I'm feeling generous so 4 it is.
