Sara Gruen spent months researching circuses that traveled by trains and they paid off in the realistic Water for Elephants that she turned into fiction. The novel begins with main character Jacob Jankowski, a 93-year-old man in a nursing home, when the circus comes to town. This begins his flashback of his time with the Benzini Brother’s Most Spectacular Show on Earth in the summer of 1931.While it focuses on the cirucs, the novel weaves back and forth between a 23-year-old Jacob on the circus and present-day Jacob with his nursing home struggles.
Jacob had never intended to end up on the circus, but once he does he is caught in a whirlwind of romance and drama. He has to learn the ropes of a struggling circus that can’t always afford to pay its employees. Each character has his/her own unique qualities that make each seem as real and relatable as the next. Even the circus’s animals take on personalities that make them seem real.
After the great reviews I wanted to give it a shot and I had trouble putting it down. The novel has a little something for every kind of reader as it falls into multiple genres of mystery, romance and adventure. Gruen continuously surprised me through the last page. Each page was as compelling as the next. I would absolutely recommend this novel to everyone.

For most of you this short review will mean little, but I’m adding it for the few people like me. I can see a hazy sparkle (screen-door effect) on almost all LCD monitors, and it’s so bad I can’t use the monitors. My husband, standing right next to me, doesn’t see it at all, and neither do most other people. Anyway, I was just at Fry’s and looked at every 19-21″ monitor in the place. The ONLY two with no sparkle at all were the HP2159m and the HP2009M. Clean, clear and easy to look at. Thank you, HP!

I bought this memory card three years ago and I’m still using it in my digital camera and now also in my handy camcorder. Its great for an excellent price, totally recommended.

Your pen starts moving on its own and tells you it’s God and you believe it? Are you kidding me? Gullible much?
If there is a God, then this isn’t Him. If there is a Satan, then he’s definitely a ghost author here.
Even with an open mind, this book killed more brain cells than I could afford. God already wrote a love letter that explains His heart. It runs from Genesis to Revelation. Check it out some time.

This is our 3rd … and FINAL attempt at replacing our beloved GE blender. Our first try was a $359 Vita-Mix that we saw demonstrated at [..]. We returned it after a week due to the noise and cost. Then, last night, we purchased a Cuisinart with a food processor attachment. It rattled so much it shook the counters, the noise was unbearable, and it had 5 parts to the canister alone. Finally, went online last night and searched all the reviews for blenders. Found the KitchenAid KSB560 to have the highest ratings (for blenders around $100.) So we returned the crappy Cuisinart today and searched out my KitchenAid. Found it at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is everything a blender should be … heavy duty, quiet, easy to use, quiet, easy to clean, quiet and it blends ice so well that my son and I made snow … real snow in California. Go figure. Get your hands on this blender if you want pure joy!

this cable works perfect. the same cable is 30 dollars at best buy. I have had no issues. I have friends that work at Best buy and they say this is where the store makes a ton of money….they jack the prices up on cabeling, so buy the product of the internet for next to nothing.

I am amazed at how well this brush works. The amount of hair that came off of my cats was unreal. I only brush them every few days and the difference in how much they shed is just amazing. I highly recommend it!

I researched a few of the Garmin units before deciding on this one. I looked at the 405 and the newly released 110, and after comparing the features and cost I went with the 305. I couldn’t be happier. It is a little larger than the others but after wearing it a couple times I don’t even notice. The amount of data that it collects is great to go back and analyze, and you can see how you were doing at specific portions of a race.
In addition the 305 gives the option of using the footpod (indoors) and a cadence sensor (bicycle).
Would definitely recommend to others and would buy again.
