“Carried water for elephants indeed. Do you have any idea how much water an elephant drinks?” These words of Jacob Jankowski open this well-researched, fascinating novel about circus life. This story is told by ninety-something Jacob as he vacillates between the present and the past, reflecting upon an incredible life that was not always easy, but was satisfying.
Jacob finds himself in a nursing home, his mind still active and questioning the meaning of his existence. Reminiscing about his life, he searches for meaning in the bland nursing home food and the fellow nursing home occupants, most of whom have surrendered their logical minds. As he remembers his life following the death of his parents when he was in his early twenties, he marvels at how every event led to the life he had.
Well-researched and accurate, many incredible facts of circus life are divulged in this story. To add to this realism, there are actual photographs from circus archives. This is one unforgettable book!

This is a captivating story about young love. I am in my 30’s and loved this story as much as the teenagers do. I think what gets adults of all ages sucked into the twilight series, is that it reminds them of their first love. I am not an avid reader, but once starting the book….I couldn’t put it down. I quickly finished it and moved on to the next book in the series. It may not be the best book ever written (in terms of prize winning writers), but it is an amazing love story that draws in people of all ages. Highly recommend it.

What an awful book. Written in 1951, this book originally sparked great controversy with its mature themes focusing on the teenage angst, loneliness and rebellion of the protagonist Holden Caulfield. I guess its like a really bad version of James Dean’s classic Rebel Without a Cause. Caulfield is the archetype of an underachiever. Today kids are reading about the latest sluggard – Greg Heffley from The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The characters Greg and Holden have a lot in common.
Catcher in the Rye follows the life of Holden Caulfield for a few days after being expelled from Pencey prep school as he returns home to New York City and contemplates life. Although, Caulfield does little contemplation and spends most of his time whining and complaining about everyone and everything. He sees the negative in everything (except his little sister) and makes one bad and offensive decision after another for almost 300 pages of misery. The only value I can find in reading this book today is to use Holden Caulfield as an example of what NOT to be – lazy, negative, and uninspired. Unfortunately the latest version of Holden Caulfield appears to be as popular with readers today as Catcher in the Rye was fifty years ago. When are we going to wake up and stop celebrating negative characters like Holden and Greg?

Artemis Fowl is a great book for kids.
This book is about a 12 year old boy named Artemis who is a genius and has a head for schemes. Artemis along with his body guard Butler go on adventures in an attempt to get his families fortune back. In order to accomplish this task his current scheme is to see if he can steal fairy gold without dying.
The Fairy world is made up of a lot of different creatures who are policed by a group called the LEPrecons. Holly Short a member of the fairy LEPrecon Unit gets herself kidnapped by Artemis. The LEPrecon force works to save Holly, stop Artemis, and protect there most favorite thing…Gold.
This the first of many adventures that Artemis, Butler, and Holly have together. I would recommend this book to anyone who would be willing to go on an adventuress adventure.

I thought this was a great book!! I am from the south and although I have never had a nanny or a maid, I still see the attitudes portrayed throughout the book in many of the local high society ladies – even 50 years after the fact. I know this book was fiction, but it dealt with real issues. It was funny, heartbreaking, and inspiring all at the same time. Mrs. Stockett paints a great mental picture – especially during Aibileen and Minny’s narratives -they are hilarious!! Can’t wait to read her second book.

I bought a Kindle to save money on purchasing books and to not have to store so many of the ones I love to read over and over, as well as for travel. However, in the 8 months I have owned the Kindle, I have seen the availability of newly released books on kindle decline, and the price of each book (some MORE than the hardcover price) increase dramatically. With all the new mediums of e-books out there and coming in the future, I’d hold off on a Kindle purchase until Amazon can get their act together with new book release availability and pricing.
