Water for Elephants

A great story. I did enjoy this one from start to finish. The characters and atmosphere are fun to follow and the animals have so much depth as well. If you liked Carnivale, you'll love this engaging tale of the circus life set in the Great Depression.

So many books … (you know the rest)
