Bought one for my fiance at Xmas and then she ended up getting one for me for my birthday. Love it since I travel a fair amount and this is a great way to carry a few books. Only thing I am bummbed about is that they now just released a newer version that is supposed to be better. Oh Well, cant have em all. Thinking about buying the newer one for my son (10 YO) who likes to carry way to many books to read in his back pack. They have a cheaper option that just might be good for an XMAS present coming up.

Water for Elephants is a quick read that carries you through many experiences and emotions. I enjoyed most of the characters (human and animal). It was thrilling, sad, sexy and hearbreaking at times, but in the end you won’t regret reading it! You’ll get the added bonus of reading historical fiction too. Very good read, highly recommended.

Book Description

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by Fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety or ninety-three, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an un-trainable elephant who was the great hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.

This book came to us as a recommended read from several sources. Once selected, we could not possibly put it down. The author, Sara Gruen, builds the detailed and fantastic world of a travelling circus during the Great Depression from the ground up! The story of Jacob Jankowski is one of sorrow, love and at times terrifying. His constant emotional struggles can be related to by many readers (though perhaps not as fantastical) and will captivate the imagination. The other characters Gruen constructed are perhaps the most remarkable outside of young Jacob, as with any circus, they all act their parts accordingly … with flawless precision.

One does not need to be a circus aficionado or historical reader to take pleasure in this novel, for it contains a little of everything to captivate any bookworm. We guarantee you will not be able to put this one down!
