1. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
2. Copyright 2007
3. Fiction
4. 331 pages
5. I went to Barns&Noble to purchase this book, it's considered more of an adult novel. I am confident that this book is challenging/acceptable for English 10 because Mr. Hatten recommended it.
6. From what I had heard from a friend who was already very far into the book, it is difficult to put down. I was told that it is exciting and there is never a dull moment. In order to even complete a book, I need to enjoy it. Fiction books are usually written to entertain, such as television programs. If a television program is not being enjoyed, the channel is turned and thus the program is not finished. I have the same perspective with fiction novels.
