Chapter One

I haven't read much of Water for Elephants yet, however from what I have read I think that this novel will be a very interesting read. I find the main character, Jacob, to be an intriguing story teller who has a great story to tell. His circus past is quite the subject of conversation, and the love story that was foreshadowed in the prologue, between him and Marlena, seems dark and exciting. I already feel compassion for Jacob, who lost his parents at a young age. I can relate to him so easily, even though I myself have not lost a parent. Overall, although I have seen the movie adaptation of this novel, I believe that it is going to be a great read. I realise this post is incredibly short and I do apologize. More to come soon! :)
