Water For Elephants


Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen, is about a man named Jacob who jumps a traveling circus train that is headed across the country. I am just going to leave it at that because I don't really feel like looking up what the back of the book says.

Anyway, MUST READ, NOW. I love this book, and I have actually read it twice now. I read it about 3 years ago, but when I found out they were making a movie, I needed to reread. I still haven't seen the movie, but I will eventually.

Oh, and I cried!

5 out of 5!

I don't know when I could go see a movie, but I might be interested.

This book didn't do it for me. Not sure why--just didn't connect. But I'm glad you loved it!!

I loved this book as well. I couldn't put it down. I went and saw the movie and was impressed. I really didn't have high expectations especially with Robert Pattinson, but I really liked it and it stayed along with the book pretty well. Better than most movies based on books.
