I finished Water for Elephants, it was really good! Its about a boy named Jacob who loses his parents in an accident, and therefore everything the family owns. It takes places during the depression, so its a time when money and banks and all that stuff is going crazy! Anyways, poor Jacob loses everything and runs off to join a circus, where he is hired as the vet (just an exam shy of being an ivy league vet graduate). There he meets Marlena, one of the beautiful performers, and falls head over heels for her. Trouble is, she is married the the director of animals....who is schizophrenic. WHOOPS!!! Its a good book, really good. Has a lot of adult material in it though, which I could deal without! Hopefully the movie doesn't have all that craziness in it! I give it a:
Which means I recommend it...but it wasn't that sorta book that I am desperate to finish in like...a day:)
I'm on to No Plot? No Problem for my next book, this is a book that teaches me how to write a 50,000 word novel in a month - which I am doing! It's so crazy and weird and who knows if it'll come to anything - but I am doing it. I am actually already 25 pages into it. It's got some crazy advice for reading!
More on that later! It's been a busy day, a busy week...I'm ready for bed! Night!
