Helpful Score: 2
A captivating tale of a college drop-out turned circus veterinarian, as told by the vet himself, now 90 years old bored to tears in a nursing home. He recounts his travels aboard the circus train, friends and enemies he makes, and his first real experience with love. He forms an unlikely bond with an elephant named Rosie along the way. I read this book before all the hype and am not at all surprised by the attention it is getting. Gruen is a great story-teller! I think all PBS'ers should give this one a try. My husband and sister loved this one as well. 5/5
