This is one that outdid the movie. I loved this book. I
found that the author really did her homework in researching the life of a
circus employee. The circus is a tough life. Living on the road always on the
go; traveling from town to town. This book describes what it was like for
people of the circus. What might look like a glittery and glossy life of entertainment
and excitement is actually filled with blood, sweet and tears. But through it
all our main character prevails and even finds love on the road. I especially
liked the ending, without spoiling anything our hero follows his heart. I found
that the moral of Water for Elephants was dream, follow your heart and be strong. I felt empowered
after reading this. There are wonderful images throughout that help with the
story. I liked that the story felt as if it was a non-fiction piece.
