I bought this book a couple of years back, and it's been on my shelf for ages. I recently found the audiobook I thought might as well read and listen at the same time to make things faster.This was the kind of book that I thought would bored me bu I was surprised that I really enjoyed it. It was the...
As an elephant-lover, I simply had to read this - and I'm so glad I did! This is a wonderful novel on so many levels. It will thrill those who have a thirst for fine, multi-faceted literature, as well as those who just love a great story :)
I am glad that I read this book. But it could have been so much better, the story was so good. The book could easily have been 5 stars but the writing was very poor. The characterization was very week. I tried hard to love the characters because I loved the story but just couldn't do it. The charact...

But I'm really glad I finally got around to reading it because it w...
"A Whole Lotta Rosie!"AC/DC do not appear in this book, nor do they get any kind of shoutout, more is the pity. The massive presence of Rosie in this book just reminds me of this headbanging classic. I really shouldn't read Goodreads reviews before reading a book because some of them just give me a...
Left penniless after his parents’ death, Jacob Jankowski quickly fell in love with the two stars of the circus: the beautiful performer Marlena and the elephant Rosie. However, Marelena is already married and her husband is sometimes completely brutish to her and the circus animals. With the circus ...
I borrowed this book from my friend one summer and I really loved it. I had already seen the movie and since she had the book, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did! This book effortlessly switches from elderly Jacob to young Jacob and, to be honest, I love both version of the character equ...
