This is one of the best books I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I was gripped by terror and euphoria, I was stunned and angry: I was struck by every emotion imaginable. What wonderful writing and what a wonderful story!!! I highly reccommend this book to everyone!
There is such a great depth in this book. Each character seems so real, so multi-dimensional, that you can’t help but feel what they are feeling. It is obious that Ms. Gruen has done her research on the subject – everything was accurate and I really liked that it was an informative story. I also loved that she stated in her author’s note that it was based on true stories from actual travelling circus members. I also really liked that she based Rosie on several different elephants – it made Rosie more real to me.
Everyone should read this book! It’s fantastic!!!!
