My opinion on Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen is that it is a good book with an exciting plot. I liked this book because iv never gone to the circus but iv always wanted to, so when i found out that it was about a guy who works for the circus i was excited to read on. I also liked this book because i never got bored while reading it, which happened with some of the books we read in class. I also enjoyed how Sara wrote it with the change of age, so one chapter you would be reading about something going on in the present, when he is old, but another time it would be in the past when he was actually working on the circus. It bugs me how Marlena and Jacob would not get together because i think that they could have been together longer.

In the last section of Water for elephants that i read, Marlena got hurt while doing a stunt during the circus. I liked this section because it was really exciting to read and you could tell the Jacob was worried about her. I also liked reading this section because i used to want to be a Doctor, so when they were trying to figure out what was wrong with her, i wanted to think back to those days when i wanted to figure out what was wrong with people, and if i still wanted to be a doctor, then i could have been really interested in this section.

Durring the last section that i read in Water for elephants, it made me excited because i think that the jazz dancing secret club chaper was really exciting for a few reasons. The first reason why i liked it was because i think that i would have been fun to get all dressed up and go dancing like they did. I also liked it because Jacob and Marlena kissed, which made me really happy because i think that they should be together even though she is with August. I think that in this book they have some unnecessary parts to it. for example the part when Jacob came back to the circus area when he and Barbera met up. But overal i really enjoy this book, i like the way she wrote it.

During the last portion of reading in water for elephants, i really enjoyed reading. It was easy for me to relate to because when i was little i wanted to be a veterinarian, and Jacob is a veterinarian for the circus show that he follows. When reading i realized that he doesn't really have to do a lot of physical veterinarian work, but i wish that that would change because i liked reading about all of the different animals. I realized that i have not read about Jacob when he is 90 or 93 recently, so i wish that that would also come back up soon because i thought that the way he is so sarcastic was funny.
