Very Entertaining Book - [16 Jan 2010]
A wonderful novel that deftly takes the reader from a spirited old man's hospital room to Circus trains and back again. Based in part on a menage of historic events, Water For Elephants is full of adventure and fantasy. I really enjoyed it.

Leaky bucket - [06 Dec 2009]
Sara Gruen delivers a readable tale that's a tad too formulaic to be fully engaging. In the same way that the narrator of the story insists from personal experience that it is impossible to carry enough water to slake an elephant's thirst, I'd insist ...
