具体描述
Though he may not speak of them, the memories still dwell inside Jacob Jankowski's ninety-something-year-old mind. Memories of himself as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell.
Jacob was there because his luck had run out—orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until he landed on this locomotive "ship of fools." It was the early part of the Great Depression, and everyone in this third-rate circus was lucky to have any job at all. Marlena, the star of the equestrian act, was there because she fell in love with the wrong man, a handsome circus boss with a wide mean streak. And Rosie the elephant was there because she was the great gray hope, the new act that was going to be the salvation of the circus; the only problem was, Rosie didn't have an act—in fact, she couldn't even follow instructions. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.
Surprising, poignant, and funny, Water for Elephants is that rare novel with a story so engrossing, one is reluctant to put it down; with characters so engaging, they continue to live long after the last page has been turned; with a world built of wonder, a world so real, one starts to breathe its air.

读后感
今天把《大象的眼泪》看完了。 有个朋友說這個是个烂书，其实也不怎么好看。情节也不复杂。过份简单了点。 一开始莫名其妙的倒叙，把关键的情节都写出来了。致使后面几乎没有什么悬念了。结果早知道了！ 就算心最急的讀者也不用翻著后面看結果了，敗筆啊。 不過，多少也有...
评分我向来都比较相信那些书籍的宣传。这本《大象的眼泪》也不例外。 能够被我买下全靠它华丽的宣传，“一印再印”、“洛阳纸贵”等字词迷惑了我的双眼，保鲜膜的包裹下也让我失去了知情权。 书读到一半，别说大象了，象毛我都没见一根。读完全书我才明白，什么写作灵感，什么仇...

评分故事构思还是很有意思，但是感觉没有像书封说的那么神，连欧普拉都推荐的书为什么没有让人觉得那么感动呢？我个人认为跟翻译有一定的关系。 看到了对译者的介绍，我觉得他还是一个对翻译，对文字充满热情的人。但是整本书的语言风格有点不固定，有时俗，有时雅，时而口语，时...
