Barry's Book Reviews: "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen

FIVE STARS: Elephants, a love  triangle and circus performers: What could be a better storyline? I enjoyed this book as evidenced by the fact that it only took me a few days to read.  The characters are engrossing and realistic.  It is amazing that Sara was able to write the part of an old man with such realism. When I read a book, I also like to learn well researched real facts. This book did not disappoint in that area. The history is interesting and accurate.  The end of the book is satisfying.  If you would like to "get lost" in a great book, this is a good choice.
