Description:

Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell. Jacob was there because his luck had run out - orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until he landed on this locomotive "ship of fools. It was the early part of the Great Depression, and everyone in this third-rate circus was lucky to have any job at all.

Very Realistic Book

I thought this was a very good book. It was written so easy to imagine how things really were. The combination of love, action and suspense made for a perfect book.

Water for Elephants

There were some parts in the book that was harder for me to read than others, due to some of the things that happens with the animals. Overall it's a great story and I cannot wait to see the movie! :)

A quarter ofan hour later, I also get an injection--not of Elavil, of something else, but still it doesn'tseem fair because I took their damned pill. Within minutes, I am a Jell-O-eating sheep. Well, a sheep at any rate. But because I keepreminding myself of the incident that brought this misfortune upon me, I realize that ifsomeone brought pockmarked Jell-O right now and told me to eat it, I would. What have they done to me?I cling to my anger with every ounce of humanity left in my ruinedbody, but it's no use. It slips away, like a wave from shore. I am pondering this sad factwhen I realize the blackness of sleep is circling my head. It's been there awhile, biding itstime and growing closer with each revolution. I give up on rage, which at this point hasbecome a formality, and makea mental note to get angry again in the morning.
