Though he may not speak of them, the memories still dwell inside Jacob Jankowski's ninety-something-year-old mind. Memories of himself as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell.
Jacob was there because his luck had run out—orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until he landed on this locomotive "ship of fools." It was the early part of the Great Depression, and everyone in this third-rate circus was lucky to have any job at all. Marlena, the star of the equestrian act, was there because she fell in love with the wrong man, a handsome circus boss with a wide mean streak. And Rosie the elephant was there because she was the great gray hope, the new act that was going to be the salvation of the circus; the only problem was, Rosie didn't have an act—in fact, she couldn't even follow instructions. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.
Surprising, poignant, and funny, Water for Elephants is that rare novel with a story so engrossing, one is reluctant to put it down; with characters so engaging, they continue to live long after the last page has been turned; with a world built of wonder, a world so real, one starts to breathe its air.

读后感
故事构思还是很有意思，但是感觉没有像书封说的那么神，连欧普拉都推荐的书为什么没有让人觉得那么感动呢？我个人认为跟翻译有一定的关系。 看到了对译者的介绍，我觉得他还是一个对翻译，对文字充满热情的人。但是整本书的语言风格有点不固定，有时俗，有时雅，时而口语，时...
评分 评分午夜的马戏团开场， 芭比人偶坐在长颈鹿的脖子上， 用涂着桃红色指甲的手遥指西北方。 琥珀眼睛的大象扬起长鼻， 在尖顶帐篷上轻轻旋转起舞。 黑色的幕布下， 隐藏了白日的秘密。 改变，接受，寻找，挣扎， 在遗忘了这所有之前， 我要为你买一根棉花糖。 把你甜丝丝...
评分在咣当咣当的火车上，我翻开了《大象的眼泪》——如此切题，这正是发生在火车马戏团上的故事。“我九十岁，或者九十三岁，不是九十就是九十三。”故事从第六页开始变得有趣。伴随着摇晃而漫长的旅程，慢慢读下去。 从某种意义上说，每个人的重要选择只有一次，余下岁月...

看不下去~~~~看不下去
评分awww... love the bit that Rosie speaks Polish! but they never explain about why Jacob was upset over "Water for Elephants". because elephants in circus actually don't like water?
评分How can such a book full of ordinary plots become a no.1 bestseller???
评分作者挖了很多坑没填
评分飞机延误时看完的。还是背景大过于实质吧。小品文
