Writing is better in the second book of the series--story remains pretty enthralling. But beware the melodrama...

i like this book alot. Unlike the way Jane Austen writes her books, Henry James has a much more modern feel the his writing even though this book is very old. the story was very interesting and i was very content with the ending.

I laughed out loud when I read this book -- I just love the image of her bowing to Trish. This is probably the best book I've read from Sophie Kinsella--I'm not as much of a fan of the Shop-a-holic books because I want to shake the heroine and tell her to stop spending so much darn money. Seriously drove me crazy. Anyway, in The Undomestic Goddess, an overworked lawyer goes awol and ends up being a housekeeper. Except she doesn't even know how to turn on a stove. It's lighthearted, funny, has an adorable hero, and a happy ending. Everything you want in a book.

There are few times (that I've encountered anyway) after reading a book that the word 'perfect' can be used to describe its contents. There is usually something to critique or make note of that the author could have done better -- but not here. Nope. I got nothin.' What Sara Gruen created with "Water for Elephants," isn't epic, it's not "Lord of the Rings" or "Moby Dick." It's not supposed to be. But what "Water For Elephants" is, is one of the most solid books I've read. There is not a single leak or crack or hole in the storyline, there's not a loose end that gets left dangling. The author accomplishes her goal of writing a riveting novel about a time long since passed. You want action? Check. Adventure? Check. Romance? Check. Drama? Check. I learned after the fact that the author had no prior experience with the topic she covered here & that's mind blowing to say the least, it's evident she took time to do her history research and then weave a fictional masterpiece based around her findings. While reading if one didn't know any better, one would think Gruen was retelling the life story of her grandpa as it was told to her as a child. I'm not kidding. Her 'voice' is strong, believable and exhilarating. Gruen takes us into the world of the 1930s circus via a lovable Cornell educated veterinarian named Jacob Jankowski. Unfortunately Jacob's parents were both killed in a car crash leaving him orphaned and without a home of his own. Distraught and saddened he jumps a train and ends up smack in the middle of the 'Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.' As he travels, he bonds with the menagerie of animals and also manages to bond with the lovely Marlena. Marlena's obsessive and controlling husband, August serves as the book's top villain. The story is told through the elderly eyes of Jacob as he recalls his past via a nursing home. The story switches between the past and the present with effortless timing. The cast of characters are rich and inviting and others are disgusting and hateful. They are whatever Gruen wants them to be, like puddy in the hands of a skillful writer, and the reader believes every minute of it. "Water for Elephants" is the type of book you read and use it to measure every other book against it, as if daring those other books to be better. Recently previews for a film starring Reese Witherspoon, based on this book have been flashing across the TV screen. I wanted to see the movie before I wanted to read the book. Now I have no desire to see the movie, I'm pretty convinced that a director can't accomplish in 2 hours what the author did in 331 pages. Hey, the movie might be alright, but it's never going to match what was created here, the magic of the storytelling by Gruen as only she could deliver it. I'm satisfied with having read the book and suggest other readers to do the same. Sometimes it's better not to mess with perfection :)

This was a fast-paced and fun story. I would love to see it animated. The story played out like most dramatic action stories. You don't know the full story until the very end but everything leads up to it.
Hatchet is a great story because Brian is such a great character. I liked him and this book back when I read it in elementary school, and in reading it again I realized that I still like it. Brian is great because I really feel like he develops as a character. It's refreshing as a reader to see him discover what is really necessary in life, and what kind of mindset you need to accomplish hard things-- just keep it simple. Gary Paulsen is also a wonderful writer. He keeps it simple too- but he also keeps it vivid, exciting, real, and sometimes a little scary. His writing is so wonderfully crafted, that we feel Brian's raw emotions. We can see what's happening to him, and understand his desperate, sad, hopeful, and triumphant responses. I highly recommend this book.

Amazing story of American soldiers working side by side with indigenous troops behind enemy lines. This first person narrative is filled with hair raising accounts of stalking the NVA behind enemy lines. Not filled with fluff it delivers non-stop action.
