Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
2.0

I feel like this will be an unpopular opinion but I did not quite like this book.

First of all, I listened to the audiobook and at the end of some (not all) chapters, there would be music. But most of the time that music felt out of place. Moreover, I listened to it at 1.5 speed and those the music was quite distorted.

Secondly,
Spoilerit is kind of a cheating story, as in Jacob fell in love with Marlena but Marlena was married to August. So "of course" Jacob hates August because of that bla bla bla. This way the author tries to justify the cheating. And I just couldn't get into it.


Thirdly,
Spoiler the book completely lost me when Rosie stabbed August through the head... Just to me it is not that believeable
