Helpful Score: 2

"Water for Elephants" was well written. It appears the author, Sara Gruen, researched her subject well. It is told through the eyes and memory of a 90 something gentleman. As other reviewers before me have mentioned, it is hard to read the stories of cruelty to animals and people alike. Although this is not my normal book genre, I would rate it as one of the best books I have ever read. Take a chance, and read this different story of a circus, and all that comes with it during the Great Depression.
