And a lot of the events are so fantastic that they just don't ring true. There are ocean voyages, a shipwreck, mystical encounters in faraway lands, bandits, benevolent royalty, wars - you name it.īut as I read this amazing narrative - complete with dialogue, which is always slightly suspect in a book that's reporting elements of years ago - I was slightly put off by the writing and its insider knowledge of people's thoughts and feelings. Basically, it's the story of a young boy, Bram, who was raised with a circus elephant, and spent most of his life with her throughout fantastic events - both wonderful and tragic - around the globe. This book out pretty interesting, with a fairly good narrative. I had high hopes for this book - what's not to love about elephants? And the "true story" of an amazing elephant and his lifelong friendship with a trainer? Well, it would be amazing, if it were, in fact, all true.
