A beautifully written story about life in the circus. The characters are unusual and loveable; the animals will break your heart and heal it; and the story will never leave you. Many surprises you do not expect; a page turner from page 1 to the last line. It is easy to read yet hard to comprehend. Would highly recommend - you wont be disappointed.

a wonderful collection of recipes. While some are a little difficult, most can be accomplished with very little trouble. All the ones I tried were tasty and easy to prepare. Would make a great gift.

For women, some of our closest relationships are with our girlfriends. We bond in a way that men can never understand. They become our "family" and know us in a way even family doesnt. This book celebrates those relationships and offers some insight into them. It is
touching, heartwarming, funny, sad and outright honest. A great book to give to the "girlfriends" in your life. I loved it.

This author seeks to answer the question of what is happiness - is it having that special someone in your life? Is it your health? Is it your family? Or is it just the choice to wake up and have a good day. The questions arise when her roommate writes an article for a magazine which attempts to find out why some people are happy and others are not and why. This is Ms. Giardini's first book and all and all I enjoyed it. It is not perfect but with practice I am sure she will become a great author. Not bad for a first book.

Definitely not characters you will soon forget. This was one of those laugh out loud (I cant help it) books. Dont
read it in a quiet place. What you have is your basic
senior citizen teenage deliquents who refuse to grow up. If you want something a little different, a little strange and laugh out loud funny - pick up this one.
