  • I really enjoyed reading this book. I love the way it's narrated. At times sad, funny, hilarious, deep, ironic! The ending wasn't up to the rest of the book I thought. I found the two Japanese inspectors to be quite annoying, but maybe that was exactly the point...

  • Wonderful story, although the first and second halves feel like they were written by different authors- dissimilar writing style and tone.

  • This book got entirely too graphic for my taste, and just when I thought it couldn't possibly be any weirder... I was wrong. I'm not recommending this one, and I don't agree with the stellar reviews I read about it at all.

  • This book was really slow. I can't believe I kept reading and didn't just give up. I thought the end was really good though, so it was worth it!

  • Seems like for a while everyone was talking about it ... so I feel like I have to add it to my list.

When sixteen-year-old Pi Patel finds himself stranded in a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with only a menacing 450-pound Bengal tiger for company, he quickly realizes that the only way he will survive is if he makes sure the tiger is more afraid of him than he is of it. Finding strength within himself, he draws upon all of his knowledge and cunning, battles for food and shelter, overcomes storms and disasters, and, in the end, makes a peace of sorts with both tiger and ocean.

With more than one million copies in print, Life of Pi has become a modern classic, combining grand storytelling with a profound exploration of ageless themes: faith and truth, fact and fiction, man versus nature, and innocence and experience.
