Water for Elephants

This book is about a young adult who lost his parents while he was taking his final exams to become a veterinarian. He ends up jumping a train that is actually a train for a traveling circus. He gets hired on as the vet and starts to fall in love with the boss' wife. Every five chapters or so, it goes back to man (50 years later), to tell about his current life. This book is very good, but you have to get past the first 100 pages or so, to really see the story developing, but trust me, you won't be disappointed by reading it.
