Bring back Circus World, Mar 11 2000
By Hugh C. Haynsworth IV "Libertarian, a believe... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Circus World (Mass Market Paperback)
A fascinating look into the lives of circus performers and how they would rule themselves. The characters are well developed and the world is very believable. This three book trilogy desperately needs to be reprinted for both lovers of science fiction and the circus. Please note at one time I had a Mexican Trapeze lady working for me and asked her to read the book. She says that Longyear really does capture Circus Culture. Please note that this is really a collection of previously written short stories collected in to one book, but the charachters feel real (both good and bad), and the politics is unique. You won't be anle to put it down even after the 4th reading, and you will still find some new nugget of gold after the 6th reading. I want to get a hardcover of this book and the 3rd book in the series.

Wonderful stories desperately needing to be republished, Dec 6 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Circus World (Mass Market Paperback)
"Circus World" is one of the most fascinating story collections I have ever read. There are times the quality drops slightly, but overall the whole series is one of the best in science fiction or in any genre. I really wish someone would be smart enough to reprint these books. I want everyone to have as much pleasure as I did. The best of these are among the best in science fiction, or any American literature.
