Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
I just finished this book at lunch. I loved it! It's about this boy, Jacob. It goes between his life when he is 23 and his present life when he is 93. It is set up so you can know what is going on now, he is in a nursing home, and he is funny! Anyway, then he will drift off and be back at the circus when he is 23. It tells how he comes across and joins the circus, his daily work, and the inner workings of the circus. There is a small love story on the side; the book is full of adventure and it's a vivid tale. I wanted to pick up the book any time I could to see where the story was going. I highly recommend this book! It will take no time to read. And now I can watch the movie and compare the two. Books are always better.
