Book pick for the month

My book club chose this book. I had not even heard of it and wasn't sure if I would even like it. A book about the circus in the 1930's? I'm not a history person or a circus person, so what could I possibly like about this book. Um, EVERYTHING! Water for Elephants was great! It has been awhile since I found a book that I could not put down. Even though it hasn't even been a month since I finished the book, I almost want to open it back up and re-read it to see what sort of things I missed. Though I am a tad excited for the movie to come out, I am preparing for disappointment. The movie previews seem to show quite a love story between the two main characters. But the book had a very minimal love story. I mean it was all about the love, but they don't actually go after it till the end. Another thing I found very interesting about this book was the backround on the author and where she got the story idea from. She had never even been to the circus. This is a must read for anyone! I feel like I'm shoving it on everyone I know, but I just love it so much.
