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.

讀後感
这一本畅销书，美国女作者莎拉.格鲁恩的作品，它的宣传词是：一次冒险换一个人生。听着很刺激，是不？ 我看书名和简介时，想起的是电影《大鱼/big fish》的场景，马戏团，千奇百怪的人，与众不同的刺激冒险经历。 实际上并不是这样。 多数女作家写的东西柔情似水，而冒险类的小...
評分嗯，所谓生活中，会有一些细小的，经历，让某一天变得与众不同，这是文字或者说故事，在我们不能亲自经历生活时所额外赐予的神奇力量。是的，没有想到，这本拖了整整一个月的书，在包里，在车上，在飞机上，在酒店里，在公司的桌上，在枕边，每一个位置都呆过，都告诉自己，要...
評分 評分 評分为什么叫“大象的眼泪”？本来的名字是“Water for elephants”，全文也没有出现过大象流泪什么的。这样很容易误导是一个以动物寻找人最终找到了之类的煽情故事。 行文方式很有趣，情节也抓人心，尤其赞的是对年老男主人公心理和生活的描写。只是高潮部分来的太假，令全本在弹...
