Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Schlitzie the Pinhead by Bill Griffith

4.0

I'm really glad I read this, the world of "Freak Shows" is both fascinating and a bit tragic. Despite being sold into the circus at such a young age, Schlitzie lived a remarkable life. However, reading this is often sad, realizing how terribly we treated those with deformities and mental health issues. A fascinating read, but I think it could have been trimmed down a little, by the end a lot of the different circuses seem to just run together and become repetitive to read about.
