1: One of the Best Books I Read This Year
An amazing journey filled with brutality, compassion, and love against the crazy backdrop of the circus life. Beautifully written. You will not be able to resist falling in love with Rosie.

2: Water for Elephants
I am truly enjoying the story and the characters. There are certain parts of the book I felt the author could have left out and really added no benefit to the story. The sexual content of them was too much for me. But all in all worth the read.

3: Awesome!
I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book. Gruen's research of circus' and the Great Depression were amazing. I highly recommend this book to any animal lover out there.

4: I couldn't put this down!
This is a wonderful book. Pure entertainment. This will leave you with a soft spot for the circus, for trains and for vaudville. We vacationed with a group of friends recently and passed this one around; five of us managed to read it in the eight day vacation....it's that good!

5: Charming and funny
I thought the book was well written and endearing. The writer was able to capture the circus life with realism. I thought many parts of the book were very funny. I thought the way the author wrote about and presented the lives of the elderly to the reader was superb. I have elderly relatives that live in the same situation as the elderly main character in the story, and his life could not have been depicted any more realistically. A great read!
