Water for Elephants

Though he may not speak of them, the memories still dwell inside Jacob Jankowski's ninety-something-year-old mind. Memories of himself as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell.<BR> Jacob was there because his luck had run out-- orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until he landed on this locomotive " ship of fools." It was the early part of the Great Depression, and everyone in this third-rate circus was lucky to have any job at all. Marlena, the star of the equestrian act, was there because she fell in love with the wrong man, a handsome circus boss with a wide mean streak. And Rosie the elephant was there because she was the great gray hop

I bought this book once I found out about the movie, I like to read books before I see the movie. I loved it so much and I think I would read it all over again. There is a couple parts that really tick me off, but the ending is real good. I do recommend you read the book before you watch the movie.

Amazing

A love story, set behind the scenes of a small circus, Water for Elephants is absolutely charming.

Having long been fascinated with the circus, I appreciated the lore and terminology that went with this book. Many of the stories were pulled from actual events.

I would have liked more bonding with the animals and more romance, but what was there was good.

Also, I think some situations are wrapped up too neatly and the villains aren't as bad as I have seen. They could actually be people I know, people who get wrapped up in what they are and what they have to the detriment of others, but are not "Hitler-esque".

But what may seem to be a weakness about the book actually is what makes it so uplifting: the bad guys aren't so bad and everything works out alright in the end.

This book, set in the Great Depression, is great for our own bleak times.

Pick it up and read it and go see the movie in April too.

A fine "pick me up" read....

This story takes place in early 30's, thru the eyes of a very old man as he flashes back to his life in the circus. Definitely riveting, well thought out, and could not put this book down.

Amazing Story

I would totally recommend this book!!! The author pays close attention to detail. I love to way she describes everything in the novel.

An excellent book. It does start off a little slow but by chapter 3 you are hooked until the end, wondering what is going to happen next.

This is a really great book. This is one of the most unique books I have ever read. I would not reccomend this books for the youngest of readers. "Water for Elephants" has a few parts that I would not want my younger siblings reading, but overall a worthwhile read.

Great Book

I laughed, cried, got angry, and every other emotion right along with these characters! I wasn't sure at first, but Jill told me to persevere and I am so glad I did. This is definitely a different kind of story with a lot of descriptive scenes and perfectly worded chapters. I was so happy by the end of the story that I didn't even want to get out of the car. I wanted to let it all soak in. Very good!

Amazing book!

It was an ok read. With it being turned into a movie I was expecting alot more. I wouldn't read it again but I liked it.

An OK Book

This book was a great value vs other book stores. The condition was excellent and new and shipping was fast. I suggest you check out Walmart prior to making any book purchases. I saved a ton!

Great Value
