Finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen last week. Despite its popularity I had set it aside because the edition I got from someone, somewhere included a book club discussion guide. I don't really see myself as a book club kind of guy, so I couldn't imagine that I'd get into it.
What a wonderful read. It was a fun jaunt with the circus that compelled you to turn the page. The ending is a little disappointing though. I found the book to be very believable up to that point, but it just ended on such an unrealistic note. But the last few pages didn't diminish how much I enjoyed the ride.
If you haven't already, you should get a ticket for the big top!
