Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

          I have just started reading this book and I am only on the prologue. This book became a major motion picture in 2011. I haven't seen the movie, but it is a really good book so far.
          The book starts of with a narrator, but the narrator isn't revealed yet. Who is the narrator? The narrator and some other people are at a circus watching the performances. At that moment, a guy out of nowhere comes in and tells the narrator that a lot is at stake if he isn't careful. The narrator's name is Jacob.
          So far Jacob has interacted with a woman that had no name yet. The woman is referred to as "her" or "she".
He watches her as she grabs a stake and jams it through a man that is yelling at her. In the end of this prologue, it ended up being a whole memory that happened seventy years ago. He has kept this whole murdering a secret for that long. Why would he do that? Will he ever tell anybody the truth or will he live with the secret the rest of his life?
          For the small amount of this book I have read, I think this book is really good. I rate this book a 9.5/10 so far.

True Colors by Kristin Hannah

     I just started reading this book. I read the prologue. It was really sad.
    
     Winona Grey, Aurora Grey, and Vivi Ann Grey are all sisters. Their mother died thirteen years ago in a horse accident. Winona is the eldest and always needs her father's approval. Aurora is in the middle and always resolves all of the family problems. Vivi Ann is the youngest and is always the attention of the family. The family is so happy until something big goes wrong. What will happen? The big secret will cause a rivalry between the three sisters and pull them apart. What does it mean to be a family?

I think this is a good book so far and I rate it a 8/10.
