I received the items very quickly, and though I experienced a minor issue, the seller was extremely professional and was eager to help. His service and quality clearly elevate him above the competition. I will definitely buy from this seller again!

My Garmin mount arrived from AMAZON even before the GPS did, but only by a couple of days. As soon as the GPS arrived I snapped it together and took it to my car and off we went. Mount is very sturdy, no problems going around corners or on bumpy roads. I am very satisfied.

I brought this on a long road trip last month and liked it a lot. It’s sturdy and doesn’t move a bit on most road surfaces (disclaimer: I drive a 2WD sedan so don’t go off road — can’t comment on how it works on crazy bumpy surfaces). It’s flexible — you can put it almost anywhere between the dashboard and the windshield. No cleaning necessary, no sticky stuff to deal with. When you don’t use it just stash it under the seat. I will use it all the time on trips long or short. Highly recommended.

Water for Elephants amazed me. It was not at all what I expected. I knew it was about a circus, and obviously for the title, an elephant was involved. What I was not prepared for however, was the cruelty it showed. And I don’t doubt for a minute, that even though this was fiction, that these atrocities didn’t happen in real circuses.

We are introduced to a death in the prologue. While it is fuzzy and hard to tell who’s who, we are witnesses to a scene that the narrator, Jacob, has viewed and never forgotten. Mayhem abounds as we discover that the menagerie of a circus is on the stampede.

We are then reintroduced to Jacob, many years later, as he is a resident at a nursing home. He is ninety three, or ninety one, he can’t keep it straight and a circus is in town and being set up within sight of the nursing home. This causes him to reminisce about his time spent with the Benzini Brothers circus.

As a runaway college student, after the death of his parents, he finds himself hopping a train that turns out to be part of the circus train. There, instead of being thrown off, he is taken in by an older man named Camel who secures him a job with the circus mucking stalls, which later turns into a position as the circus’s veterinarian.

He falls in love with Marlena, the wife of his schizophrenic boss August. While he keeps his love hidden, August, dangerous and unpredictable makes life tough for Jacob in the circus while in his better moments is a best friend to him.

He also makes the acquaintance of Walter, a dwarf clown whom he bunks with and together they help Camel in his time of need. He also makes an unlikely friend in Rosie, an elephant picked up from another failing circus whom he feels a bond with and devastation at her treatment from the cruel August.

Throughout the book it cuts back and forth from Jacob at the nursing home, to his reminisces of the circus and its happenings. One of the ending chapters recaps the prologue, only with more detail.

This is the better choice when mounting your GPS. In many states, mine included, it is illegal to mount devices on the windshield. This product allow you to have the GPS in clear view without obstructing your visual field. It is easy to set up & easy to use. It stays in place & doesn’t slide all over your dash when you make turns. This was a very smart purchase. You will love it!
