While everyone is entitled to her own story, as a writer as well as an avid reader, I was amazed at how poorly written and executed this novel was. First and foremost, Stockett’s attempt at “dialect” was woefully inauthentic, and just came across as “bad black English.” (Further, I found it interesting that she choose not write in white Mississipian dialect as well, perhaps wanting us to believe that these counterparts somehow spoke proper, standard Engish.) Thematically, the bathroom motif was overused and became downright boring, as well as Hilly’s, the main antagonist’s, strange and ineradicable rottenness. In this regard, I think Stockett went too much for shock rather than a much needed nuance. I did not feel the urgency at the end of the novel, the fact that if the secret was let out about the book, all hell was going to break loose in Jackson, the likes of which had never been experienced.

If anything, what is minutely redeeming about the novel is the like you develop for the main characters: Aibeleen, Skeeter and Minny. I liken this novel to a sitcom where you may not like every episode, but you nevertheless like the actors. However, since this is obviously not one, the novel, in the end, fails.

I could not have loved it more. Water for Elephants is one of those wonderful novels that has an interesting setting, but it doesn’t let the setting take over the story. It is a novel about the people in that place, and the people of Benzini’s circus took over my mind and stay with me still.

Jacob begins Water for Elephants alone. Orphaned by his immigrant parents, he is weeks away from his Cornell graduation, but he simply cannot return to the life he has known. He jumps aboard a moving train-the train carrying the Benzini circus to its next production. No one on the circus cares that Jacob didn’t finish his final exams. The diploma, he is told, “is just a piece of paper, and nobody here gives a damn about that. You’re on a show now. The rules are different.”

In fact, the circus seems to have no rules at all. Jacob somehow finds other kind souls among the misfits, and these people work together to protect themselves and the animals. The villians-Uncle Al and August-are well described and three-dimensional. You understand why they behave the way they do. These villians are not cookie-cutter images, and their real-world sensibilities make them even more frightening.
