I have been hooked on Continental tires for some time now. I have the Ultra Gatorskin on my commuter and the Grand Prix 4000S on my fun bike, a Trek Madone 5.2. The way they hum when I get going is gratifying. For myself, decent speed is achievable even though they are a heavier tire. Flats are still possible, however, with the Kevlar. A thorn got me on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alene but I believe it would have punctured just about any tire. I am not a racer so weight isn’t that critical for me. This tire gives me a smooth and safe ride. If anyone out there recommends a better tire, I’m all ears.

I’m not easily grabbed by books, but this one did it fine fashion. I usually read maybe 20 minutes before I go to bed, but I finished this book in four nights including two nights where I stayed up two hours reading. It was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.

This book was an absolute delight to read. Characters fleshed out enough to actually care about them and a well-researched insight into Depression-era circus life.
As fare as plot goes, there’s probably nothing you haven’t already seen or read a hundred times over in romance novels, or Lifetime Network movies for TV. Same material set against a new backdrop.
Sometimes a good read is just that – a good read. It doesn’t have to be life-changing – just entertaining. I love how it was all told as a personal history.
I do appreciate the author’s exhaustive research to get the circus terms right. My only (small) complaint (and maybe I missed something) was that not all the terms were defined for the reader. It does not take away from the storyline at all.
