I loved the character of Jacob when he was ninety or ninety-three. He has been there, done that as he reflects on his life on a depression era circus train. When I think of Water for Elephants, I don’t see 23 year old Jacob and Marlena and the circus gang, I see this old man who still stands up for his rights, mainly his right to live his life as he sees fit. The whole story is developing this one character – You go 90-something-year-old Jacob – enjoy!!
Rosemary was another character I enjoyed – so patient, so sincerely understanding.
My main issue with the book – Water for Elephants – not the title I would have chosen. A great title but I don’t feel that the book reflected the significance needed for that name. As I was reading, I kept expecting something to exhibit “Water for Elephants” besides McGuinty.
This read was chosen for my book club and what a fun book to plan a party around, would definitely recommend this book to friends, family and fellow book clubbers out there.

I bought this to use with my classroom, and the Amazon price was $30 less than Apple’s “Educator Discount”. I got the cables to connect the device to my tv/lcd projector and its been great!
Genuine NEW Dell 1125
I live my Kindle 2 and my wife loves her Nook. The kindle is easy to use, and makes reading easier as I can have a business book, exciting mystery and a fun book all with me at the same time. Any eInk reader needs a light in darker areas, but it is superb in the sunshine, i.e. poolside. We bought covers to protect the screens from M-Edge as the cover also holds the light. Books are readily available but some are available on the Nook and not on the Kindle, the reverse is also true, which is one of the reasons we got both.
Getting newspapers delivered was an unexpected extra. We vacationed in a resort that did not have newspapers, so I was able to shop the Amazon store and get a newspaper delivered to the Kindle in the morning with no effort!
A major feature for me on the Kindle is to be able to underline text i.e. major points in the book and then connect the Kindle to my computer to edit and print out the notes. The keys on the Kindle don’t look as cool as the virtual keyboard on the Nook, but solid keys work better. Battery life is superb on the Kindle and longer than the Nook. I wish the Kindle had a removable battery and Memory like the Nook. The Kindle does have limited Internet availability so you can check the news or a stock poolside or while at the airport. Many things like these make the readers a little different so it may come down to personal choice of what is important.
In summary, I love the Kindle 2 and would buy another instantly if I lost it.
