Elephants.....

So I recently acquired this book, and started to read it. Its called "Water for Elephants", and the title sounds rather interesting. Well in this interesting book that I have found myself reading for the past week or so, I have slowly started to grow fond of it because its just an obscure book. It starts off with a guy named Jacob,  93, who has been put in a retirement home, and does not like the way things are run around there. Jacob is not a very big fan of the food where he lives, and I cant blame him. Jacob also gets erked by someone who claims they carried water for elephants. This thought enrages Jacob and does accuses the man of lying. Although Jacob is sent back to his room for being a grump, the book starts to get interesting and jumps back into time where he was in fact working for a circus. I like reading his flash backs because it tells about the living conditions, and what life is like.Among those it also tells how a circus was ran, and believe me i would not want anything to do with it. I personally am not a fan of circuses, and they seem like a giant hoax. But never the less it is interesting to see Jacob work his way up through the ranks, and become an important necessity. I wish life was that easy.
