Water For Elephants, written by Sara Gruen, is a book told as a memoir by a fictional ninety-something old man about his time with the circus as a young man. This experience matured him and forever changed the direction of his life. This book is charming. I could relate to the characters and understand their motivations easily. I enjoyed reading it and have re-read it several times. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I was not expecting/prepared for the style. Spoiler alert, it's all letters back and forth to various characters in the story. No real....prose? That took some getting used to, and I was about ready to say sayonara-life's-too-short-to-read-so-so-books. But then I got sucked into the story, finished it at a super human pace, and am glad I did.
