This week I finished the book "Water for elephants" by Sara Gruen. I was an amazing book every chapter would captivate you more and more and leaving you asking questions. The way the book was set up was every chapter the story would shift from the point of view of the man in his twenties to the point of view of the man as his current ninety- three year old self. I liked that the book was set up this was because it was told more vividly and it really voiced his opinion. The way he told the story from his circus life was usually while he was dreaming he would pick back up from where he left off which really helped piece together the story.
As it came to and end it answer many of the questions you would want to know about his future. In the end he needed up getting what I think, he wanted most leaving him happy to live out his final years. My new book I am beginning to read is "The girl with the dragon tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. I have heard this was a great book form many people. The book is around 600 pages so I imagine it may take me awhile to read but it seems interesting.
Olivia, this book sounds interesting in the way that the point of view shifts between chapters. The books I've read only focus on the point of view from the narrator, so it seems like you'd have to keep up with two opposing sides of the story if there are two. It's also good that you give your own opinions that help us understand what the book means. I hope you get to finish your current book even though it looks pretty long, but what's it about?
