This week I started reading Water for Elephants, which is about an old man telling the story of when he was a kid and he worked at the circus. He was a veterinarian, and he worked with the animals. This book is kind of a mystery, and about circuses that traveled on trains. A good part that sets the scene is when he is describing the circus tent. I peer inside. The tent is enormous, as tall as the sky, and supported by long straight poles jutting in different angles. The canvas is taut and nearly translucent-- sunlight filters through the material and seams, illuminating the largest candy stand of all. This book isn't very inappropriate, and it is very good!!!

This book has been on my to be read list for a while, and this summary made me want to read it even more. I like your summary.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is not very appropriate, but the descriptions are good.
