Water for Elephants is a superb novel that is endlessly engrossing. Gruen’s storytelling ability is marvelous and this book is tireless throughout, I couldn’t put it down. It’s romantic, its daunting, its tense, and immensely rewarding.

The characters in this novel are so well put together and so dynamic that you care for so many and loathe others. The progression is absolutely perfect. Her vivid descriptions pulls you in head first into the depression era, and really paints a picture of a train circus even though I have no experience with the medium.

This is a story that I truly cherish and will return to in the future, a movie is being released next year for it and if it captures even half the essence of the book it will be wildly successful.

I am in love with marlena.
