A review by rosann
Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen

4.0

There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed - who doesn't dream of escaping life and joining a circus?!! But there were some parts that I could have done without (the very detailed account of the cooch's show, some of the violence towards the animals, etc). I did really enjoy the descriptions about life in a train circus during the great depression, and the loyalty of friends, and the personality and brains of the animals.
