Title: As Entertaining as the Circus Itself
Review: Mabel Stark, a real life circus performer, is someone I never would have known about if not for this very amusing novel. In this fictional memoir, Ms. Stark recounts her life story from a rebellious Kentucky teenager through her various marriages and through her rise to superstardom under the big top. A real gender-breaker Ms. Stark becomes the world's first and foremost tiger trainer during the era when the circus was the king of entertainment. Through the colorful narrative of her tumultuous life we also get a glimpse into the universe of the circus and all the eclectic characters (human and otherwise) that dwell in it.Author Robert Hough does a great job in keeping the action fresh and fast-paced in a writing style that is easy reading and highly entertaining. If you are looking for something different to read, try "The Final Confession of Mabel Stark."
