I just finished Water For Elephants this afternoon, and I loved it. It's set in two time periods and flips back an forth between the two. They are the present - when the main character, Jacob, is a very old man, and the summer of 1931 - when Jacob is a very young man working with a traveling circus. The story taking place in the past tends to be very exciting and fast-paced, while the story in the present is slow and sad. Occasionally, I found this annoying because I'd get so wrapped up in what was happening with the past story, that I felt rudely interrupted when the story lines flipped, and I had to read about the present story.
It was a really great book, anyway, though, and I'd highly recommend it. As soon as I got into the story, I didn't want to put it down!
