A Very Believable Piece of Fiction - [03 Apr 2010]
Water for Elephants amazed me. It was not at all what I expected. I knew it was about a circus, and obviously for the title, an elephant was involved. What I was not prepared for however, was the cruelty it showed. And I don't doubt for a minute, that...

Was A Fantastic Read - [25 Mar 2010]
A friend strongly recommended Water for Elephants to me, and after reading it I have to say that this novel is a fantastic read. Besides maybe a couple of not-so-interesting pages (no novel is perfect), it is fearlessly written, from the description to...

Master storytelling - [23 Mar 2010]
It's one of those rare books that is impossible to put down but after it's over, you feel like you learned a lot. I'm going to give away as little as possible about the storyline because I don't want to ruin anything, so I'll just give you a little background...

Awesome! - [21 Mar 2010]
