Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
3.0
About half way through this book I was questioning why I would even read this, I hate circuses!! I've hated and boycotted them since I was a kid and saw a news show on the mistreatment of circus animals (feeding elephants heroine to keep them docile, the deplorable conditions they are kept in, the summer heat beating down on the tents/enclosures, the cruel training methods, etc), these beautiful, exotic creatures should not be carted all over the country in a tiny cage for our amusement. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox!
That being said, I ended up enjoying the book. I understand it's fiction and takes place in the past. The characters and the love story pulled me through. It was a tough subject matter for me, but it's really a fantastic story and the ending was just perfect, I loved
