Water for Elephants
By Sara Gruen
(paperback)
Why I liked this book:
It has the element of romance, and a man going slowly insane towards the end of his life. He is still defiant, much like he lived his life, and is kind of an awesome old man. Between the flash backs of his past and his current situation, Sara Gruen paints a beautiful character for you to fall in love with.
Who would like this book:
Anyone that likes contemporary fiction or likes romance. There are enough elements of both to keep readers entertained. This book is also in very good condition, I wouldn't say it is perfect enough for a gift - but if you knew someone that has been wanted to read this, it might make a good "random" present.
