I really liked the book…it has a fresh new store line. I feel in love with the characters, especial the bearded lady…-What a Lady. I don’t know how she could fall in love with Pinches, like I said...What a Lady.

It was fun going to the “Carnival” and getting to be part of the troupe…going behind the curtains and being able to be part of the family. I could almost smell the cotton candy and popcorn. You showed us that it is true dedication and love that is needed to be a carnie.

The only problem I had was it was too short…I wanted to be a carnie longer. I want to see how it turns out…hopefully there will be a Weirder 2…Weirdest. Thanks Chad, I had a ball. ( )

It's odd, it's weird, and it gets, you guessed it, even "Weirder." I loved this book; just like the title suggests, it is a bit weird to read, but the story is good, and off at times, but a wonderful addition to my slightly off collection. I would highly recommend it for teen boys - in that weird moment kind of read. Love it. Keep it up! ( )

I received this book in a giveaway from librarything.com. I can say this book was definitely different. It was a nice short story with some interesting twists, especially towards the end. I like how it gave a super short story for almost every character. It brings it all together. I can't wait to read his other books so I have something to compare it to. if you want a quick read that has a little "weirdness" to it, this is one of them. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
This novelette is dedicated to misfits everywhere.
First words
“May I have your attention please?” The ringmaster wore a long red coat embellished with gold braid and stovepipe hat. “I’m your host tonight!” He cracked his whip and spoke into the microphone. “We’re glad you came to see the sideshow.”
Quotations
What is normal? It’s human nature to look down disparagingly on anyone that’s different or unusual. But, the human oddity draws a crowd; spectators recoil in horror, draw in with morbid fascination, openly stare at the deformed, can’t look and can’t look away.
