Were they really treated badly during filming? - that's awful can't bear any animal cruelty. Broke my heart watching the poor rhinos on the news recently x

No they can't. They have standards to adhere to and I'm sure there would be prosecution should it happen.

Just been doing some googling. Apparently Tai, the elephant who was the main star was mistreated in 2005 whilst being trained to learn tricks for movie roles. So he was abused, but not by the production team of Water For Elephants! Could still put people off watching it though knowing that it happened! X

Presumably he's being well looked after now though. Poor thing

On a happier note, I'm enjoying the book so far. Tried reading this morning but my little girl wanted me to play with her trains with her and took it away!! Little monkey!

I have keeper of the light to read by her. Not read any of her stuff but my friend at work who is also a Jodi Picoult fan recommended them.

I really enjoyed the book, it was something different to my normal crime books. Well worth a read, and the film is a good adaptation of it xx

Just finished water for elephants watching the film on sky tonight

Edit- the film follows the book closely, it's a good adaptation.

Bloodman! Its really really good, suprised me.

I've recently read Before I Go to Sleeo, Into the Darkest Corner, Only the Innocent and Room.
I've just started Men I've Loved Before by Adele Parks and will read Shantaram after that. I have so many samples on my Kindle that I seem to collect.
