Water For Elephants Reaction So Far

As I approach the midway point of this book, I find myself enjoying it more and more to the point where I cannot put it down. It keeps me interested throughout each chapter with the plot and character development only adding to its greatness. The thing I like most about it is the fact that the author has almost religiously added description to each passage so that the reader is able to imagine what life would be like in the early 20th century working for a traveling circus. I also enjoy the little flashbacks/flashforwards that happen from time to time. I find the author is spending more and more time in the past, which, naturally, is the more interesting part.
