Wow. Crazy stuff. I don't even know what to say... it makes him very real, and it also shows you that even though nobody else really knew him, he didn't know himself, either.
You know what, I liked this stupid vampire book because it made fun of Twilight. Yes, the vamp character was alluring to an extent, but he was also creepy. It's the vampire HUNTER, Alaric, who had me hooked. He was cool. He had a sense of humor, and not so much of this "Bella, I love you, so I'll die for you" air of behavior that Edward and Jacob both had. (Sorry, but I have to rant about Twilight every once and a while.)
ANYWAY. Lucien, the vamp, is actually pretty dangerous. And the main character's pretty cool too. The twist on Meena is that she can see how people are going to die... so she has a sort of hero's complex. And I like that she's not a damsel in distress.

He writes like he lives in a dream, and it's kind of crazy how all this stuff that seems so OUT THERE became his life.
He tells his story beautifully and is completely unashamed of all the choices he's made, good and bad. He embraces his dark side as well as everything that makes him who he is, and it was great to read a story like that.

The ending is what made this 5 stars. Because you don't expect it to have a happy ending, in some ways, and then it DOES. It was really cool.
I love the story line, and how it borders on fantasy but grungy details keep it grounded in the reality of the 1920s. Speaking of details, all the circus details were amazing, I loved how the story was set up around this circus train.

Gah I couldn't quite get into it. But the mystery part was pretty good, and it was still kind of funny, so I guess as Cabot books go, I enjoyed it. That is all I have to say.
Oh my god I cried buckets. At so many different moments, too.
I think if you're a sucker for Romeo/Juliet stories, where things ALMOST work out but don't, you'll have heartaches because of this book. Like I did. But if you like the type of book where most things end up at least sort of okay/optimistic, then you'll also love this book. It's so good, really.
And yes, the storytelling style of the author is as good as they say.

Book bored me, I'm sorry. Maybe because it was British. Nah, that's not very nice of me to say. It was just dry. Oh well.
Meh. It was an okay story but seeing how it wasn't particularly scary or romantic, it failed on both aspects of the "thriller romance" category it claimed to be a part of. Not cool.
