Week 2 Thing 4

I believe that I have successfully logged my blog. I sent the address to Kathy and so all of you should be able to read my insights.

Has anyone read the book, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen? I highly recommend this book if you have a parent in assisted living, love the circus and want to know more about life in the 1920's through present day.
What were your first impressions? Did you understand the desire to run away and join the circus?

I read "Water for Elephants" and enjoyed it. I was thrilled that main character got to break out of the nursing home and go back to the circus. There were some pretty grim passages in that book. It really gave another view of the circus life. I didn't expect to like it, but it was compelling.

Loved the book. I read it quite awhile ago but my book club just discussed it. Everyone loved it.
