Summary: An enthralling odyssey of human striving
Review: Dreams of the Solo Trapeze is the memoir of one man's amazing journey alongside trapeze artists Olga Sidorova, as he sees firsthand the globe-trotting experience of the Cirque du Soleil. From Amsterdam to Barcelona to London, Montreal and Las Vegas. Witnessing firsthand the demands of art, physical conditioning, high-stakes performance, competition, candor, and love, Dreams of the Solo Trapeze is an enthralling odyssey of human striving and the secret lives of performers in the spotlight. Highly recommended.

Summary: Great book!!!
Review: Great Book!!!! I from the moment I started it I just could not put it down. I am not sure what it is about the circus life, the community and the art that is circus which attracts and captivates me so much, but what I was most impressed with in this book was that I feel the book had a good way of capturing and communicating that feeling. And I think that even a non circus junky person unlike myself might also be able to take that away from the book as well. I highly recommend it.
