Book Review:

Water for Elephants is a romantic page-turner. You will fall in love with Jacob Jankowski the people he meets and the animals helps. Having lost his parents at the age of 23 and left penniless, Jankowski drops out of Cornell veterinary school and joins the circus where he has the opportunity to care for a menagerie of exotic creatures. While in his new career he falls madly in love with the show’s star performer, Marlena. The romance has ramifications when Marlena’s sadistic husband and circ us boss beats both his wife and the animals Jankowski cares for. In this book you will gain inside view and a new respect for the people and the animals that made the traveling circus of the Great Depression what it was.
