The book sounds like a very interesting read, I would like to read it sometimes. You mentioned humor being featured in the book, more reasons for me to indulge my self on The Sword Swallower and a Chico Child.

Thanks for the review.

The issues here are timely and relevant. If there are lessons to be learned, I hope this book will not make the young readers think vices or addictions are natural occurences or have to be experienced to know they are wrong. This is in my bookshelves and I will put this on topshelf as soon as I am able.

It's a good thing you enjoyed reading the book. But it sounds like a book that revolves round only these two alcoholic people, and then gets you moody. Looking foward to something better.

Reading this is like in the modern day, with students partying, alcohol addictions, and sin city. Good news when money runs out the students learn that they must get a job, after dropping out of colleges or universities worldwide.

Thanks for the review! It sounds like a book about people amid problematic environments and strange cultures. A story driven by characters with this type of setting is not something that can be passed lightly. Between this and the pages that I have read in the Kindle sample, I think I will definitely give it a try.

Sword swallowing is great skills that leaves people wondering "How do they do that?" I like the characters that are in this book. The book has a great story line. I also like books that are humorous making it my type of book. I'll be sure to read it.

It looks like this book relates to struggles with alcohol addiction while trying to make a better life. I can relate to this book because i know a lot of people living with alcohol addiction. I will certainly read this book. Thanks for the review.

This sounds as if it will be a fantastic read. I'm looking forward to reading this book for my first review! I am a huge fan of stories which are more character-driven. I believe this one will be right up my alley.

Thank you for the review. It is very helpful since it made me want to read the book. I admit, upon seeing the book cover, it never crossed my mind that I'd like to give this a try. But when I read your official review, everything became clearer. The characters are messed up but I think likable based on your descriptions. Also, it seemed very organized since you mentioned about the three parts. Adding this to my want to read list.

Whenever books have parts split up, I always get nervous. Nervous because you can read all about one thing, the next part is another, and then bam, it's all together. But that isn't to say it can be done right. From your review, it looks like the author did a good job with it. The title also threw me off. Was not expecting what I was thinking, so I thank you for that! I'm intrigued now. Might just pick this one up!
