Definitely added to my favorites pile. ( ) Jamie is living his ordinary life, working his thankless job, and for some reason living with room mates who treat him badly and steal his food. Those days are coming to an end after Jamie has a strange experience with a clown that he nearly runs down with his car. After witnessing something he will wish he could unsee, Jamie steals a pouch left behind by a clown and with that he seals his fate. Now they want him for their twisted circus and joining up is not voluntary. I loved this book from start to finish. It's creepy from practically the first page before we even get to the actual circus and meet an unforgettable cast of characters. I've already bought the sequel! I wanted to like this a lot more. And I am clearly in the minority here, as most everyone else appears to have loved this book. It had a great premise, I love circuses, and I love creepy stuff but in the whole scheme of things, it just got weird. The whole magic homicidal, personality changing clown makeup thing was a bit much and I never really ended up liking or connecting with any of the characters. I did like the beginning and there were some humorous moments. I appreciated the dark humor and I didn't hate it, but it took me a long time to get through and I certainly didn't end up liking it. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Jamie's tyres squealed to a halt. Standing in the glare of the headlights was an apparition dressed in a puffy shirt with a garish flower pattern It wore oversized red shoes, striped pants and white face paint. It stared at him with ungodly boggling eyes, then turned away... this seemingly random incident triggers a nightmarish chain of events as Jamie finds he is being stalked by a trio of gleefully sadistic clowns who deliver a terrifying ultimatum: you have two days to pass your audition. You better pass it, feller. You're joining the circus. Ain't that the best news you ever got? Jamie is plunged into the horrific alternate universe that is the centuries-old Pilo Family Circus, a borderline world between hell and earth from which humankind's greatest tragedies have been perpetrated. Yet in this place peopled by the gruesome, grotesque and monstrous, where violence and savagery are the norm, Jamie finds that his worst enemy is himself - for when he applies the white face paint, he is transformed into JJ, the most vicious clown of all. And JJ wants Jamie dead. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
