I would love to follow Jacob on the rest of his journey and to also hear more about his life with Marlena after the circus. I get sucked in like that when I am reading a book, even if they tie up the ending the way they have in this novel.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185293632790414317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-59324293817950369132011-06-02T17:10:12.963+12:002011-06-02T17:10:12.963+12:00My dear friend said the same thing - loved the boo...My dear friend said the same thing - loved the book - nervous about the movie as a result.

But I have GOT to get my hands on this book - between your and Renee's reviews I am SOLD big time :-)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. I might even have a book to share for June (yup I did read a whole book - shock horror) but I'm keeping it under wraps as I'm gonna do a giveaway at the same time too xxMeghan Maloney Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506040925450598933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-7987055650821730162011-05-31T20:40:00.121+12:002011-05-31T20:40:00.121+12:00I loved Water for Elephants.

I can't wait to see the movie too! <br /><br />Another really good book that's quite easy to read is 'till we meet again' by lesley pearse. And I also loved The Pact by Jodi Picoult - that one was about an Amish girl who had a baby out of wedlock and it mysteriously died, a lawyer got called in and she had to live in with this girl AND I wont say anymore before ruining it! <br /><br />:)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764125005456821771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-82729471686025305832011-05-31T17:48:00.171+12:002011-05-31T17:48:00.171+12:00Love linking up for this book - it was the best on...Love linking up for this book - it was the best one I've read in a wee while. I love the pics you've got on here - that's exactly how I imagined it to be!!! Exciting that you saw the movie - I'm very jeal - though AWESOME to hear that it was good and not a huge disappointment - I hope that I get to see it at the movies - I bet the circus part would be AMAZING! I totally agree with The Lovely Bones - I hated the movie.

I almost don't want to see the movie now in case it doesn't live up to the fantastic book. I loved the back and forth between Jacob's memories and the present day.
