I absolutely loved "Water for Elephants". I thought that the story was great, and extremely well told. I loved the new and different perspective it offered.

I was never fascinated with the circus, but after reading "Water for Elephants", I'm dying to go. I've never been actually, to be honest. However, after reading this book, I feel like I know the inner workings of a railroad circus about 100 years ago.

I loved that novel twisted and turned, but never so hard or fast teat the reader was lost. I also enjoyed the narration style. (It was just that - a narrator telling about his life in the circus.)

I just thought that this was a nice, refreshing, and different book. I highly recommend it.
