This was a really good, enjoyable, authentic, endearing book. Thoroughly enjoyable read. One of a kind, leaves you wanting more of the circus on the rails of the depression era. I also love first-person novels that stay on plot and Gruen doesn’t disappoint there.
I TOTALLY disagree with another reviewer who said Gruen over-anthropomophized and over-romanticized the animals in the story! Hardly. If anything, if Jacob is a vet, we read very little of him doing his job in context of the story. And anyone who’s around animals or has worked with animals can hardly fail to form emotional attachments to them.
When I finished WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, I like I felt when I finished reading FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE and SEABISCUIT.

The new DSLR’s that include video need Class 6 SDHC cards to work effectively. This card does the trick. Any lower speed interrupts the transfer of data to the card and generates a stop and go effect. This card makes everything smooth and easy.

Before getting my Kindle I had to worry about getting to the bookstore when new books were released that I wanted to read. Those days are gone. The ease with which I can download books is amazing. The ease of reading a book is amazing – no eye strain. I honestly didn’t think I would like a Kindle because I couldn’t hold a book in my hands and I thought I would miss the feel of the pages between my fingers. I was wrong. The Kindle does give me a similar feeling of holding a book and the east of turning pages is a benefit. I think one of my favorite things is that you don’t have to worry about losing your bookmark. Kindle always remembers what page I was on and takes me right to it.
To sum this up – I am in love with my Kindle.

The first time I heard about this book was about two or three years ago when my cousin told me this was “soooo gooood!” and I had to read it. I didn’t at first because I knew it was in the Young Adult section of the bookstore and I am always a bit iffy about that section.
Then, once the movie came out and there was this huge craze that followed, I definitely didn’t want to read the books because I try to not get sucked into all the hype.
This past Thanksgiving, I saw that another one of my cousins had the books and I asked her if I could borrow the first book so I could find out what all this mess was about. I definitely didn’t want to waste my money if the books turned out to be as dumb as I thought they would be.
So, on the car ride home I started reading … and reading… and reading … I found that I couldn’t put the book down! When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about the book and how I wished I could be reading. True this is no mind bending, life changing work of literature, but I found it to be quite addictive and I don’t know why!
As soon as I finished the first book, I ran out to Wal-mart and bought the other three books because I couldn’t wait to have them shipped to me from Amazon.
By the end of the next week, I had finished all the books!
I hate my self a little for getting sucked into these books, but I just found them so entertaining and addictive.

My husband and I have enjoyed this so much. Every day we have a bowling match. He has not done the tennis yet.

Wonderful product. Just when I think my German Shepherd couldn’t possibly have 1 more hair to shed, the furminator shows me that I can still get enough fur off her to recreate another dog. It does have a cutting effect, but this is the best tool I have used in my 25 years of dealing with German Shepherd’s double coats. Where was this thing when I had 12 dogs at one time?? All I seem to do is groom them. Now it is easy(er)

I enjoyed this book on my Kindle. I must admit the book is a lot better than the movie. The character of Edward & Bella is much better in this book than on the screen. I found the book and story line a little slow in the middle particularly the romancing of the two main characters (then again, I am a male). I feel this was omitted in the movie. I have purchased all the other books by Stehpanie and I will enjoy reading them on my Kindle. His book was easily read on my Kindle. Well done Amazon and keep up the good work. Buy this Kindle book, it`s wrth the relaxing read. A well written book.

Great bike for the price. I received the bike today and wasn’t sure what to expect from a $235 road bike. I was pleasantly surprised. The bike has an appealing look with its blue and silver paint job. These colors don’t combine to have the most expensive look to them but Schwinn Prelude Mens Road Bike looks better in reality than the pictures on the internet which I didn’t think were to bad in the first place.
The bike was a good size for me and I am 5″11. The parts that were already assembled needed tweaking, tightening and checking. The additional parts like the front wheel, front caliper, handlebars and shifters you will have to install. This is easily done by following the easily explained steps in the manual. Getting the wheels to turn smoothly without catching the break pads is what took most of the time setting up the bike.
When I was assembling the bike I found the positioning of the shifters to be inconvenient, they just take up too much room on the handlebars and would require a whole body straightening movement to get to them from the normal riding position. The shifters are attractive with there thumb up and down plastic control switches; they also shift smoothly; these are not the worst Shimano have to offer. The aluminum band that ties them on to the handlebars looks cheap. The other cheap looking parts of the bike are the pedals and the seat is cheap. It has little to offer in padding and I will upgrade that this month.
For now the Schwinn is the most reasonable bike on the market. In a year or two if I get into road biking more I could see myself upgrading because there is a noticeable weight difference between this bike at 25lbs and a $700 Trek 1000 which I just know by lifting it is lighter. However, this bike is 3 times cheaper and all I need to get myself fit.
great bike for the money!. i bought this bike for my girlfriend, and for the amount ~$250 Schwinn Volare 700C Flat Bar Mens Road Bike can’t be beat. it needed just a little adjustment to the derailers but that is normal for any new bike. since then it’s been running great and has needed nothing! nice lightweight wheels and very decent entry level components make this a great value for the money, and the flat bar is very comfortable for city cruising!
