I have just finished the book Water for elephants. It was about a man in his 90s who is remembering back to the time when he carried water for elephants at the circus. When he was 19 his parents died in an accident. He was so upset he ran away and found a traveling circus the Benzini brothers’ most spectacular show on earth. It was in the 1930s when this all took place. He met a girl that he fell in love with instantly. But she was married to another man. He was a very violent man. as time went by they got closer and closer. And when her husband beat her one day she left him and went to the man that was in love with her. In the end they ended up together until she died 50 years later.
I thought that this book was really addicting I couldn’t take my eyes off of the screen (was read on kindle) it was a very heartfelt and loving book. As this man is dying of old age he is remembering the days when his life ended and began again. I felt like I was in the story the entire time as I kept reading it. This book was so good I recommend it to everyone.
