The Astonishing Life of August March by Aaron Jackson

funny relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Well written with some funny one liners but just boring to me. We follow August through his life. From an orphan hidden in a theater to a homeless thief, to a well to do boarding school and then to his ride back to the theater. This book was trying very hard to be a Dickens novel. Too hard at times and I think that is why I lost interest. Did enjoy the quick wit form time to time but for the most part I was just bored.
