So I just finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I must say that it exceeded my expectations. I read the book mainly because it was different than something I would normally read, and it was free.99. lol...I had to push myself through it at first. Once I got into it, it wasn't a bad story at all. Water for Elephants is told from the perspective a 93 year-old man who gets thrown into the circus after facing a great tragedy. The story depicts the harshness of surviving the The Great Depression and living on the road. It's also a love story. Would I recommend it? Undecided. I will say if you choose to read this book, get your vocabulary up or either have a dictionary handy. I consider myself to have a pretty good vocabulary (since I read constantly), but there were a lot of words in this book that completely threw me for a loop. I actually thought some of the words were unnecessary, but anyway...Water for Elephants! It was something different and a semi-pleasant surprise.
