book recommendation

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is a great novel! It is about a character named Jacob Jankowski and his life struggles. The author explains how Jacob goes from being old age to his past life when he ran away and worked for the circus. This book has a tendency to grab attention because it keeps you wanting to know what is going to happen next. First, the book started talking about Jacob's life when he was older, suffering for old age and having a tendency to forget everything. It talks about him being in an old folks home and him trying to cope with the fact that none of his family members care for him anymore. While he is there, he reminisces about the past when he used to work for the circus. From chapter to chapter, it jumps from Jacob being old to him being young again. As he was younger, he attended one of the top veterinary schools and was close to graduating with a veterinary degree. Before he attempted to take his exams, he found out that his parents got into a huge car accident and died. When his parents died, he found out that his parents left him to be in great debt due to paying for his medical school. As a result, he ended up running away. He ended up being a part of the circus. He experiences a lot of things in the circus that helps him along the way. I greatly recommend Water for Elephants because it is a great book. You will not regret picking up this book and start reading; the only thing you will regret is the fact that if you don't read it!
