 Captivating From Beginning To End!, 2008-09-06
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. An amazing story, told in an intriguing style - I could not put it down!

 Great read, but, 2008-09-05
I saw this book in the bookstore and it sounded very interesting so I got it out of the library. I wasn't disappointed. It was very easy to read and flowed nicely. Very interesting and quirky characters which I liked. Rosie the elephant was a great character. I agree with one of the other reviewers who compared the book to Sophies Choice. I thought the same thing when we meet the ringmaster. I really enjoyed the book but I was disappointed that there were a couple of parts that were unnecessarily crude (as opposed to necessarily crude?). It's like the female writer of the book had to prove that she could be as crude as any man. Other than that, it was one of my favourite books this year.

One of the Best Books I Read This Year, 2008-09-04
An amazing journey filled with brutality, compassion, and love against the crazy backdrop of the circus life. Beautifully written. You will not be able to resist falling in love with Rosie.
Water for Elephants, 2008-09-04
I am truly enjoying the story and the characters. There are certain parts of the book I felt the author could have left out and really added no benefit to the story. The sexual content of them was too much for me. But all in all worth the read.

Awesome!, 2008-09-03
I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book. Gruen's research of circus' and the Great Depression were amazing. I highly recommend this book to any animal lover out there.
