Sara Gruen spins a fascinating tale of murder, love, obsession, and life in Water for Elephants. The characters were interesting and well developed. Her portrayal of the elderly was spot-on without being stereotypical. That’s a very difficult thing to do; not many authors are capable of unraveling the story of an elderly character.

Her portrayal of circus life is intriguing, and the characters never failed to invoke strong feelings of endearment, horror, amusement, or pity. I wouldn’t call this a “must read,” but it is definitely an interesting story that was well written and well researched.
