Water For Elephants

This novel is gorgeous.



It's been on my "To Read" list for a couple of years now and I can't belive that it took me this long to get to it.

I'm not sure what it was about this book that struck me so much. The language is gorgeous, the story unique, the characters are complicated and not so easy to love or hate. Maybe a little of everything...

Actually, no.....it was the ending.

Hands down, "Water For Elephants" had the best ending I have ever read. Not the Nicholas Sparks "The Notebook" kind of ending. It was different, but somehow still tender and unexpected, but so very right.

Love, love, love it.
