I know, I know, it seems as if I am going through some sort of "book phase". I guess I am, well not really. I've been wanting to read for a few months now, but I never had the time. I finishedWater For Elephants during Spring Break, and let me tell you, it was a pretty darn good book.
I guess it was kind of ruined for me since I saw the trailer first. Once I saw Robert Pattison as Jacob and Reece Witherspoon as Marlena, BOOM, those were the two people I imagined throughout the whole book. So word of advice, don't watch the trailer before you read the book. Actually, maybe I just kind of ruined it for you since I said who was playing who. Oh god, sorry, hahaha.
Anyways, I don't recommend this book for immature little kids who "EWW" whenever someone says the word, "sex", because this book has quite a few sex scenes. BUT NONETHELESS, it is not unnecessary. Actually it's completely necessary. It does nothing but develop each of the characters involved.
Sorry if I jump around throughout this post, but I think Reese Witherspoon is absolutelyperfect for the role of Marlena. She's flawless, elegant, innocent, light, and beautiful. I sound a little homo, but I just love Reese Witherspoon. This sounds kind of weird, but one of the reasons why I loved Marlena was because I imagined her as Reese Witherspoon. I mean seriously, look at her.
Haha okay, I'm going a bit overboard here. But all in all, she's a great actress that does amazing work.
Reading this book made me feel a bit more mature for some reason. I don't know why. Maybe it was the slightly challenging vocabulary. Maybe it was the mature themes. Maybe it was the complicated imagery. Im'm not sure. But I definitely liked it.
This was not meant to be the most well written review on the book. It was supposed to be a post to get my thoughts out about the book. Kind of like a "closure" post, haha. But in conclusion, you guys should all read this book. It's kind of awesome.
