Water For Elephants


Water For Elephants is a story by Sara Gruen about Jacob Jankowski and his travels with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show On Earth. By sheer luck Jacob has found himself employed by the circus after he has lost everything. As he learns the inner workings of show business, Jacob becomes entangled in a web of love, lies, jealousy, and murder. I loved Water For Elephants, and truly felt as if I were hearing the tale from an old man who had worked on a circus. The book instantly goes on my Top 10 list.
