4 days ago i started reading the book Water for Elephants. This book is amassing , for now i am loving it. So far a young man named Jacob Jankowski goes to his faculty to finis his final exam, so he could finally become a veterinarian, but something unexpected happens, both of his parents die in a car crash and Jacob finds out that his father was in arrears and that his house is under mortgage. Jacob has no wear to go, and has no money. He had to fine a job,but he didn't have his Diploma for veterinarian school. Luckily there was a train passing by, and jack jumped in. That train was a circus train. He meet an old man named Camel who sold tickets, and that man gave him a job, a really dirty job, cleaning animal feces. He worked for five days but than the owner of the circus named Augus found out that he was on the train and that he was getting food wile the other circus freaks worked much harder than he did and that he was getting the same amount of food. Augus was furious with Jacob and he wanted to throw Jacob of the train, he didn't know that Jacob was a veterinarian. When Augus found out that he was a veterinarian his attitude changed, he asked Jacob if he wanted to stay and work with a great payment.Jacob accepted and he had a room which he shared with a dwarf named Kinko/Walter. He presented his name as Kinko but his real name was Walter, he had a dog named Queenie. Jacob false in love with Augus wife named Marlena. Marlena workes with horses, but unfortunately here lead horse dies and Augus buys an Elephant named Rosie and Marlena now works with horses... We will see what happens!.!.!

  3. I've been wanting to see the movie for a while and I agree with Emily, usually books are better than the movie. I think you described the book well and you seem to really like it. I might have to read it sometime. :)
