Book: Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen


Such a lovely written book. But, I must admit that I felt incredibly stressed throughout the book. I had not seen the movie as I am not a fan of traditional circuses, especially animal circuses. But, the book came highly recommended so I decided to give it a shot. I think I had wanted to enjoy it more than I did. The animal cruelty is horrific. I do however find it fascinating that the book is (loosely) based on true events, and some of these events are shared at the end of the book; and, real photos are peppered throughout the book. 

3/5
