Water for Elephants Review

Really liked this book.  I never would have bought it if not for the recommendation, it just didn't look like anything I normally read.  The title just doesn't grab you from the first.  This book is compelling, catches your interest from the start, and is very unique.  It will be one of the books that I actually remember out of the hundreds I read.  I highly recommend reading this book to anyone - it will appeal to many different types of people.  I liked the story, and by the end of the book I understood the title.  Very well written, easy to read, great story line, and poignant.  The characters are memorable, there are some unique twists to the book, and it is not just your average tale.  The main character is very real and his feelings are well described.  His journey is interesting, different and unique.  Again, although it might not be my alltime "favorite" book, it is one that I remember very well and am glad to have read it.  Take a chance - read the book.  You will be glad you did, great work of fiction.
