Water For Elephants Audiobook

" Only one word can describe this book: Amazing! "

" Loved this book. One of the best I read. After reading I was able to understand the movie more! "

" Loved everything about this book!! "

" I loved the way she took bits and pieces of real life anecdotes and weaved them into a grander tale. I didn't, however, enjoy the way that Jacob was supposed to be modeled after the biblical story, when all that was really taken from his story in the Bible was the word "tent". "

" A well-written, great story. As usual, the movie paled to comparison to the book. The book was detailed, but not lengthy. A great read. "

" I put off reading this book forever despite all of the rave reviews because who wants to read about elephants? Frankly, I usually am not into animal stories at all. As it turns out though, this isn't really an animal story at all and I am very glad I finally took the plunge. "

" Never thought I would get into this book, but I loved it. Read way before movie came out. "

" I really enjoyed this. There were a few times I had to suspend my disbelief but not so much I ever thought about setting the book down before I was done. "

" Audiobook. I haven't seen the movie yet but the book was a great listen with a great ending. "

" Interesting way to learn about circus life. It seemed a bit violent at times but I wasn't around during the time this was written. The love interest is indeed interesting and the ending is great. "

" I wanted to get to know an elephant after reading this book! "

" I read this for a book club and really didn't enjoy the plot or the characters. The best part was the last chapter. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was so engaging. "

" Excellent read, great characters, great story! "

" I absolutely loved this book. If you loved the movie, this is better! And I did the unabridged audiobook, which was even better because of the two different readers, being Jacob young and old. Again, fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! "

" Excellent Book! I do not generally read historical fiction, but this book really told a wonderful story and I look forward to reading more from this genre. "

" I didn't think I'd like a book about a circus but I was thoroughly entertained. It's a page-turner. "

" I only read this book because I wanted to see the film and had it on my bookshelf, I knew I wouldn't read it if I saw the film first. I really enjoyed it and loved all the characters in it. I hope the film is as good!! "

" I loved this book. It is better too read then to watch the movie. "

" Excellent and heart warming story... "

" I loved this book. It was an unusual storyline, and well told. "

" Total page turner. Fascinating. My hubs stole it from my nightstand + read it even faster than I did! "

" I have just bought this book yesterday, and enjoying it - every free time I have, I pick up the book and read. Sara Gruen's writing is amazing, it absorbs you into it! "

" Loved, loved, loved this book! Inspired me to start reading again! "

" I wouldn't call this a must read....but it was an enjoyable relaxing read. I liked learning about the circus in this time period, the author did a lot of research on the subject, I think it was very accurate. A bit of bad language :(. I just saw the movie, it follows the book quite closely. "

" I thought it was bit tedious and vulgar. "

" I liked how it was a page turner and something I might not have picked up. The love story wasn't overpowering! "

" My very best book - I think ever! "

" woaaaa.... ngos-ngosan ngebut setelah selese nongton filmnya :))duh endingnya... -_- "

" Loved the book! I loved how the author wove in so many historical facts. "

" I think I am one of a few who did not like this book. I did not like the cruelty to animals, which was very difficult to read, nor did I like the ending, too unrealistic! "

" Loving this book. Couldn't wait to see the movie though :( I went to it about halfway through the book..lol "

" This is also a very good book. Very different but a great read. "
