Water for Elephants-Sara Gruen
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen was a majestic escape to the 20's and 30's era.
Times were hard for all. In this 'escape' there is much emotion and sadness..
Jacob Jankowski was in a rough spot. He has no one left in the world and doesn't see the meaning in life anymore.
He finds himself on a circus train and his life takes a wild ride throughout the country. He bounces from heartbroken to happy and back again just like the train would wobble him around as he slept. His shining spot?? What brings his life to have meaning again? Marlena. Her life has been just about as messy as his.
They are brought together by fate but will they survive their adventure? You will just need to run off and escape to the circus to find out. This escape was definitely a chugging 10!! I only wish there was another novel to continue the adventures of Marlena, Jacob, Rosie and Bobo and the horses!!
Can't wait to see this movie as well! Comment with your thoughts and follow me for more reviews!!
