Water for Elephants Reviews..
We had a great time at the Pegg House Tea Room (and not just because of the three wine bottles!). In attendance were: Jennifer, Rachel, Tracy, Lori R., Lori C., Marilyn, and Erin. Overall, everyone enjoyed the book selection for this month. We are all looking forward to Robert Pattinson the movie being released in the Spring of 2011. Perhaps a book club field trip is in order.
Reviews:
Lori C.: 8- Lori felt it was hard to read about the animal cruelty. She was shocked by the ending. She felt overall it was hard to read, but she enjoyed the Walter-Jacob Relationship.
Rachel: 8-Rachel liked the Marlena-Jacob relationship, but thought they would tie in the circus man at the end more than the author did.
Jen: 7-Jen liked the book but thought it was a little depressing. When she read it, she felt sad. She found the Hooch tent scenes disturbing. Her favorite part was the relationship Walter had with his dog, Queenie.
Tracy: 8- Tracy liked the book, even though she found it to be a slow read. She felt an emotional connection with the last chapter, looking back over Jacob's life.
Marilyn: 8- Marilyn really liked it. She hasn't quite finished but plans to. She was bothered by the brevity of the story (only 3 months for bulk of what happened). Her favorite part so far is Rosie!
Lori R.: 8- Lori loved the relationship Marlena had with the horses. She was infuriated by the scene with the cigarette being put in an animal's mouth.
Erin: 8 - Erin really enjoyed this book. Very happy that Jacob and Marlena ended up together. Felt that the author should have made the book a little longer and tied in more of the rest of Jacob/Marlena/their family's story.
