MMMM . . . Makes Me Hungry!
Sara Gruen really uses some incredibly colorful descriptions for everything from the various people and places in the circus (like that cooch tent) to the food! Whenever she starts describing Jacob heading into the meal tent, to eat with Marlena and August, the food sounds sooo good. Now, sometimes I am starting to feel like the author spends a little too much time with descriptions and needs to focus more on the story. It almost feels like she is stalling at points and I have to fight the urge to skim a little. Any thoughts on this?
