Most ( some ?? ) chidren dream about running away to join a circus.. this book shows us what happens when an adult runs away to do just that. The author saw it as a chance to travel and see the world.. what he didnt expect to see was the other side of circus life.. the living in grotty rooms.. sleeping in a container . no rest .. and some of the crueler side of the circus life.Parts of the book made difficult reading for me, Ive only ever been to one circus in my life and that was many years ago as a child, even then I felt awkward.. I felt the animals shouldnt be made to do so called tricks for us and I'm not surprised that it is now only human acts that are appearing in most circus rings. The staff werent paid, any excuse not to and this made life even more hard. It said amusing in parts in the book review but I didnt find this funny . It was an eye opener to the world of circus life.. I was glad in the end when the whistle was blown on this awful set up.
