I had a rocky start through the prologue and the first chapter. I was losing interest until i read further. It took a few chapters and a few dozen pages to find myself into the book and not bored. There was an introduction to new characters. Jacob had met them in his past on a train. This book goes back in fourth from the present into the past where Jacobs story really began.
Jacob met characters Bill, Grady, Camel, and more supporting characters. Jacob only meets them after he is told his parents passed and he hops on a train. While heading on a train where he is not welcomed at first he easily becomes friends with the men and is introduced into their circus. Jacob gets started in his new life shoveling manure from the percheron and the elephant, which i have done a fair share of at the barn. gross. Anyways i cannot wait to read on and see what happens at this new setting at the circus and Jacobs new job.
What made the book not interesting when you first started reading? Do you enjoy the book more now that you are further into the book? Just wondering because I have wanted to read this book for a while.
