I was sad to turn that final page, but this morning I finished one of the best books I have ever read. Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen, tells the tale of Jacob Jankowski and his adventures as he runs away from university and joins the circus.
The chapters are told from his point of view as a 23-year old, and a ninety-three year old. The way that Sara Gruen writes is fantastic. She uses such descriptive words that it feels like you are actually there, attending the circus during the depression of the 1930's.
I highly recommend this book! It is so good that you won't be able to put it down! I waited almost three months on a wait list for this novel! Over 200 people were on the list.So go to your closest library, chapters, indigo, and buy it!
