The Disapparation of James by Anne Ursu



Review in 20 Words or Less:

5 year old James mysteriously disappears at the circus, story of how family copes with the loss, really good book.

More on the Book:

There is not much more to say.  Five year old James disappears while chosen to go on stage at the circus.  He doesn't reappear at the end of the act.  The book focuses on the family's loss of their child’s strange and unexplainable vanishing act and their personal struggle during the days that follow without James.  It sounds like a very depressing book, but I found it interesting, and I read the entire book in one sitting.  The author does a great job of creating the setting, the flashbacks and flash-forward’s.  I really enjoyed it, and I am not one of those people who like to cry during a book (well sometimes during a good love story...)  I  was really surprised to see that not more people read this book on Amazon and rated it.  I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Rating:

5 out of 5 Circus Clowns
