具体描述
An atmospheric, gritty, and compelling novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932, by the bestselling author of Riding Lessons .
When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.
Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.

读后感
花了兩天晚上斷斷續續看完了。預想中的沒有感動，現在很少有標榜著灑淚的書可以真的讓人哭了。所以，看書還是不要看廣告詞的好，不然會被誤導。 這本書，不是走的感人路數，也應該不是走華美詞藻路綫。看到豆瓣上好多人在對它表現出失望，埋怨它的詞滙平白空洞，還有就幹脆直...

人生来都是无罪的，这个世界给了我们不该有的东西……
评分on page 128/350 the elephant comes out...
评分读之前以为是儿童小说；读第一章节以为是惊悚小说；读到中间以为是流浪小说；读到最后才知道，马戏团是缩影，每个人背后都有自己的影子，看似残暴的August，在感情上，无能为力；Jacob似乎不可思议的流浪，绝望的感情，都在那匆匆一跳中，当初只为逃离狼的嚎叫。
评分好看好看好看！！！
