Status Updates From The Last Freakshow: Flame a...

As I get closer to the end I have a strong feeling this will go into my favorites.

Anddd it's still amazing. If the book maintains this level of richness and quality for the rest of it's... runtime? Would that be the word? Anyway, if it does, this book is gonna be a fucking masterpiece in my book.

I hope I don't just come of as a glazer, but I honestly love this book more the more I read it.

I'm loving this book so far. This is the first Ed Lorn book I've been able to get ahold of and as a huge fan of his YouTube channel, I can really see his endearing and delightful personality shine through in the narrator's voice of this book.

I'm definitely curious as to how well the train will be able to maintain it's steam for 300 more pages to make a story appropriate analogy. But so far so great!

I am enjoying this so much! This author deserves lots more attention. Check this out if you like carnival stories, found family, literary fiction at its finest.

I am so glad this author came back to writing. I missed his nuance with words. This story is definitely going to go down as one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I will keep on raving if I don't stop and get back to it, but really, check this book out if you love outcasts, found family, and carnival atmospheres.

“Sunsets were the property of poets, for only they could adequately describe such majesty. Had he been asked to describe it, he would only be able to reply: ‘It’s fucking stunning.’”

“The most damning curse parents pass on to their children is expectation.”

“But this was the dichotomy of parenthood: the need to protect while knowing there was little one could do to effectively stave off the evil of the world.”
