ALD Live - Water For Elephants Book Review

A veterinary student during the Great Depression who almost earned his degree, Jacob Jankowski is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. There he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her. Watch the Arapahoe Library District's own JoAnne Pulcino in this ALDLive review of Water for Elephants.

-pensate for his stupidity...The main character is supposed to be more wise than that...Haha...Still great great book, and I'm not the kind of person to read often...Lovely characters, setting, and plot...

She forgot to mention that August was a schizophrenic...I felt kind of sorry for August in the end, but I guess that was his final fate...Atleast he got killed by Rosie and not Jacob...And I really didn't expect Jacob would go out to assasinate August in the middle of the night...And he DIDN'T! in the end, so that whole trek onto all of the train cars was absolutely pointless...I really thought he would pay respect to Walter's precautions and warnings and stay put...Now Walter & Camel had to com

I love this book dearly! The era, the circus, the characters, the intense scenes, EVERYTHING! it's so original and the characters are lovable and hateable! Everytime i picked it up i felt like i was watching a movie! I want to run away witht the circus! I'm actually reading it for a second time! can't wait for the movie, but sadly they will ruin it. :( FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME! i just love sara gruens writing!
