Yes, I started it Sunday night and finished it about 3AM. I just plowed through. It was pretty good...about a guy that by accident worked for a traveling train circus in the 1930's....The guy was a veterinary student that was supposed to sit his boards and he didn't take them, wound up hopping a train, and it was a circus train. He ended up helping out with the animals etc...story told from him at age 94 in flashback.

I just finished this book, I read through it pretty fast, too. I enjoyed it. Rosie was definitely my fav. character! I have the authors first two books but have yet to read them. Riding Lessons and Flying Changes....

I recently finished this book, and I liked it very much. I have thought about it several times since reading it and would suggest it to anyone.
