review 1: No... just no. Too long, characters have no depth, every vaudeville act the author could get her hands on was painstakingly repeated word for word (emphasis on pain). I read it to the end, I wanted something good to happen - it never did (I mean with the writing not the plot). Basically for me this was a waste of time. For book of 500+ pages it fell totally flat which is sad because it could have been so good.
review 2: A splendidly researched story about vaudeville and the malleable notion of family. The characterization was very strong, and made me feel like I was part of the sisters' touring company. I enjoyed the plot development and found the ending satisfying, if a little anticlimatic. The book lopes and drags in parts, but the full realization of the ch... morearacters in the story really offsets any issues with overlength. less
