#0011A Water For Elephants - Sara Gruen

I was kind of hesitant to start reading this book. Usually when I hear something is amazing and it only took one day to read because they could not put it down, I sometimes find it not good at all. BUT this was the not the case for this book. Krissy was dead on and I'm really glad she recommended it.

A ninety, or wait...is it ninety-three, year old man retells the story of his life as a young college student. After his parents die he runs out during his veterinary exams and jumps on a train, only to realize this train is carrying a circus to their next stop. The book goes through his struggles of fitting in, falling in love, and teaching a "dumb" elephant tricks.

This book really was great and it ended the way it should have. I really have a problem with most endings in books and I was just overwhelmed with how it played out, that I could have cried. 5 stars
