Simon & Schuster Audio, 2006
Attesting to this enjoyable reading by Slattery
+ Excellent Hemingway audio book

Water for Elephants 3 reviews Sara Gruen
Algonquin Books, 2006
Astonishing Details
+ the life of a circus + Fun Fiction About the Big Top of Yesteryear
The descriptive language in this unbelievably well researched book is amazing. The story transports the reader onto a circus train. It might be easy to dismiss this as a story too odd to get interested in, but it's not. Just pick it up and find yourself lost.
