The End of Elephants

Wow, what a great book. I was really shocked to find that I was as into the book as I was. The book really turned out slow, and I thought about putting it back because I thought it would be like that the whole time. However, as Jacob started to look more and more into his flashbacks, the book picked up enormously. I ended up reading like 7 chapters in a day. But at the point where it seemed like Jacob and August had a frenzy over Marlena, I was genuinely afraid of what might happen to Jacob. August was crazy and I knew he had to be out of the question somehow, I just did not know how it would happen. But Jacob got his wish, even if it was not in the way he intended. August was stomped by an Elephant. And this ended the Benzini Brothers Circus. Jacob went back to school and took his exams to support his to be wife Marlena. Marlena had a baby in the chamber, and when Jacob finally does find another job, the both of them are up and running with another circus, where they stayed until their kid. I just think that it would be awesome to live on a circus because you would travel to alot of places and see everything, while being around things that most people get to only see once in their life. I am very jealous because I someday would like to do my own bit of exploring when i get married and just go around the world and experience everything, and breathe it all in. I think it would be remarkable, and amazing.
