Summary: Not the kind of book you'll ever forget
Comment: This is not the kind of book that you read, put down, and forget about. It's the kind of book that has you so engrossed that you forget the time and just read and read and read-and cry. This is really one of the most moving books I've ever read. It's the story of a man who is hideously deformed, so everyone treats him like he's just an animal. Only he's treated worse than an animal- he's a circus sideshow freak who is stared at, made fun of, kicked and beaten. His life has been horrible but he is at heart an ordinary man. What makes this book so moving is that it is true. You'll cry because he's beaten and cry when he's rescued. You'll cry basically through the whole book, because it is awful to think of a person being treated the way John Merrick was. And it will change the way you look at people, and the way you think about them, if they happen to be a little different from how you are.

Summary: I'm looking grateful?
Comment: Before reading, I thought this story wasn’t true. The editor made this story and it made an elephant man. But read and read and then finished. This book made an imagination from book. An elephant man was a strong person better than me. He was a pure, kindly gentle man. He could care for someone, and even he couldn’t live by himself. I would try to kill myself or I couldn’t find me ever.

This book is great and one of the best books when I read for school. I could be change when I met a body defect person. I’ll be a nicer person better than now.

Summary: This book is fantastic!...
Comment: ...
I agree with the reader from Pensacola. The reader is right about the fact that it is very difficult to put the book down. It expresses so many of our human emotions, and it makes you wonder how can one author possibly put so many thoughts down in to one book. As well as the abundance of human emotions, there are also many acts of human kindness. ... The thing that is so sad about this book is that while it seems like this book is fiction, it is unbelievably true. One man went through so much pain and agony, and yet he stuck it out. If any one needs a story of hope, this story would be the motivation you need.
