How you finding son of the circus Lj?

I never finished that one. It's the only Irving I've ever started and not finished reading. Dunno why, wrong time to read it.

it's well written, as is all Irving.....

but it kind of meanders......as does all Irving....
you're never really sure where the plot is going.....and yet, when you reflect on it....it was there from the beginning.

of COURSE the murderer was the transvestite who married the rich old man, and only killed the golfer to cover his/her tracks!

it's worth reading, but i liked his other stuff better.
