Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was entertaining and since I have a preference for books that are woven around actual events taking place in history, this one got an extra star for that! With the book set during the Great Depression and at the end the suprise reading that the character of Jacob was supposed to parallel the life of Jacob in the Bible, I am now glad I read the book despite the inhumane animal treatment which has kept me from ever going to the circus if it could be helped.
