A Son of the Circus

Let's be honest I love john irving but this did feel a bit silly.

It's about an indian doctor who lives in canada but spends several months a year in india. he' also a screen writter and write films that his nephew is the star of. One film he's written is similar to a real life murder 20 years ago and the story is about how they solve the murder.

He's also friends with a variety of acts from the circus.. hence the title.

7/10

this has to be one of his best stories ever.You will have to adapt to the past and future sense of all the main subjects but once you open your mind to the probability of circumstance you will enjoy this book more than all of his books. Reading should not be easy---it should be fun, and these characters are the funniest ones ever created by JI..
