This was a really good, enjoyable, authentic, endearing book. Thoroughly enjoyable read. One of a kind, leaves you wanting more of the circus on the rails of the depression era. I also love first-person novels that stay on plot and Gruen doesn’t disappoint there.

I TOTALLY disagree with another reviewer who said Gruen over-anthropomophized and over-romanticized the animals in the story! Hardly. If anything, if Jacob is a vet, we read very little of him doing his job in context of the story. And anyone who’s around animals or has worked with animals can hardly fail to form emotional attachments to them.

When I finished WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, I like I felt when I finished reading FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE and SEABISCUIT.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. My only criticism is regarding a little to much explicit sexual description and violent animal abuse. Otherwise, I found it very well written, and a fascinating tale.

I was skeptical! I really didn’t think a ‘friction mount’ would really stay in place, especially in my Honda Civic with a dashboard full of angles and curves…but, because of the dashboard/windshield designs, my Nuvi was so far away (with the suction mount) that it was hard to use the touch-screen, not to mention read the screen with my poor eyesight, so I took a chance. It worked perfectly! Before I got it to the car, I had it on the back of the couch, just amazed at the angles in which I could place it without any sliding. I eventually placed it, not on the dash, but in a cubbyhole where the dash meets the console. The wires/cables are mostly in the cubbyhole too, since both connections were also nearby, and the mount hides the cables and fills the space between the hole & mount perfectly so the Nuvi isn’t going anywhere, and yet I can adjust the it’s angle for best viewing. No more suction cup rings on MY windshield!

This is a very useful item! I have tried other “book holders” for use on cardio machines at the gym and this is the only style I would recommend. I am very happy with this purchase!

Like most people, I was required to read this book in the late 60s. I don’t have any recollection of being touched by it at all. I read it again in college, and either I thought it was all about disaffection and rejecting middle class values or I was told that by my teachers.

I glanced at it again over my daughter’s shoulder on a long plane ride a few years ago and couldn’t wait for her to finish so I could read it again. I was shocked to see that I had completely missed the point: it’s about Holden’s vertiginous fall into depression after the death of his little brother. His parents and his sister are all too damaged by their own grief to help him, and he’s struggling to feel something while avoiding feeling anything. These are familiar demons, beautifully evoked.
