Colts Neck Book Club: "Water for Elephants"

"Water for Elephants" is the touching story of Jacob Jankowski, a 93-year-old man, who is reminded of his colorful past when a circus sets up next door to his assisted-living center.

Readers are shown memories of Jacob as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers "Most Spectacular Show on Earth." This is a story of coming of age, facing the realities of death, and living despite it all. "Water for Elephants" is an adventure for readers of all ages.
