I was never into that whole Sci-Fi thing. But for once I wanted to read something that I wasn't so familiar with. Many people were suggesting the "Cirque Du Freak" series as a good start on this new genre. The first few chapters I was about to quit this book, I just was so bored with this scientific fiction stuff, It was unbelievable and not entertaining, I feel like the best books are the ones I can relate to the most, but what can I relate to a person that goes to some sort of freak show?
I knew that if I can just get through this one book, I can cross sci-fi off my genre list. I knew that completing this "mission" was going to be tough, because reading a book that does not interest you at all is quite a drag. But once I actually read it and look past the basic plot, I saw the real issues and the main characters true feelings and emotions.
The first time I read it without passion. I just read it to get it over with, but when I re-read it I realized that there's so much more to the story then a boy that goes to a "freak-show" thing. This whole series takes you on a journey full of twists and turns, which is obviously expected. But as a surprise these turns were very unexpected, I knew they were coming but I didn't know when which really shocked me.
I definitely suggest this book to any newcomers to the sci-fi world, or any of the people that already know Sci-Fi. It's totally worth reading it, but don't worry for any people who were just like me, you'll probably won't like it at first, but as you get in between those lines and think out of the box, you'll see the meaning and the psychological depths of this book.
