Several months ago, when the movie trailers started appearing for Water for Elephants, I decided I wanted to read the book first.
Even though the book was dark at times, I really enjoyed it and I was worried that the movie wouldn’t live up to the book like most movies based on books.
I will report that I was very happy with the movie. It’s been a few months since I’ve read the book, but there were no parts that jumped out at me as not being from the book or things that were out of order.
Wonderful movie and book!

I agree; they did a really good job making that book into a movie. It is one of my favorites so I was really paying attention. Glad you enjoyed both, too!

I really enjoyed the book but haven’t watched the movie yet. I know the critics panned it but it’s nice to hear some “actual people” liked it. 😉
