I like the writing and the subject matter, but the book itself seems to be a mess and is poorly constructed, in my opinion.

I enjoyed this book very much - the writing is lyrical, and the imagery was breath-taking. I thought the book's construction was purposely "swirling" - to match the events at the circus, and in the lives of the characters.
This is one book that I think merits a re-reading -- many details in the early chapters would acquire more weight/significance - if you had some notion of their importance in later chapters.
