Reviewer: J. Maness(This is a tab:))"The Great and Only Barnum: The Tremendous, Stupendous Life of Showman P. T. Barnum" was a fantastic book! This book really showed me that biographies don't have to be boring. I really enjoyed reading this because I was marveled at the genius of this man! Mr. Barnum had many roadblocks in his life, a drinking problem and many, many, MANY fires destroying his life, but he still managed to get back on his feet every single time. He had a strong faith that worked a miracle to bring him off his deathbed.
(This is a tab:))The main thing that kept me reading was that it was a biography in the form of a fiction book. They also had pictures with captions that were informational and really drew me into the story. When it showed the Fourth hall in Barnum’s museum, I was on the fourth floor of his museum, looking over at Tom Thumb feeling the push of the crowds. This kept the book much more interesting.
(This is a tab:))P.T. Barnum was the perfect person to right a biography on. He was the best character for the role. His life had struggle and strife but he learned to overcome that. In doing so, He demonstrated a great inner moral and resolve. His life was very captivating when played on a screen before your eyes.
(This is a tab:)) In conclusion, learning about P.T. Barnum’s life was both informational and incredible. He was a phenomenal man with a phenomenal life. In The Words of the great Barnum himself (this is when he makes a statement about his circus life)" Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now." Going forth, I will try to live my life in this light.
