I've finally finished this after i had to basically drag myself through it!

What was meant to be a dark and twisted circus adventure, turned into a poorly executed uneventful, convoluted stain of words on a page.
The characters are boring and the plot makes no sense. The little tension that was created in the superficial relationships eventually ran its course as the overuse of the word 'love; and all its flowery connotations, at points made me physically ill.

The similes, the repetition, the endless use of first names rather than 'she' or 'here' made me want to blow my head off. The use of colours and smells as descriptive technique was overdone and completely asinine.
