Water for Elephants

This book set in the depression era about a man who joined the circus. Even though it is fiction, it includes many true events--a compilation of circus stories embedded in a single story.

I was very surprised to learn in this book how smart elephants are: the ability to interpret language and emotion.

It was a good read. The movie mostly follows the story line, but is choppy and had you not read the book, would have probably been confused by many small tidbits in the story.
