Niagara Falls All Over Again was a total surprise to me. I thought it would be about upstate New York because of its title, but it was set mostly in Iowa and Hollywood. I didn't expect to like this book, because I wasn't a fan of The Giant's House, and also because this one is about Vaudeville and I've always hated slapstick, Three Stooges, Stan and Ollie, clowns, etc. But I really loved it!

Elizabeth McCracken has such a way with creating living breathing characters, she made this Vaudeville duo Rocky Carter and Mose Sharp about so much more than just what they do for a living, I loved their back stories and family histories.
