Query: A well spun story

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the character development and the shifts between past and present were done very well. I could not put this book down because I wanted to know more about each of the characters from the crazy, August and even the hobos. Water for Elephants is very enthralling and gives an exclusive backstage glance into the world of circuses and the eccentric personalities that reside there.
