Life of Pi

Life of Pi

Yann Martel, 2001


I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Some parts were really good, but a lot of parts dragged. I enjoyed the actual drama of what Pi was going through, shipwrecked at sea with no one for company but a wild tiger in his lifeboat - not exactly the company you'd look for. I liked seeing Pi's attempt to train the tiger and his adventures on the sea. But there were too many parts, mostly where Pi or the author were considering how this experience proved the existence of God, that just fell flat for me. I guess I just don't feel the love for it that so many people do, although I feel for the most part that it was a pretty good read. Just not one of my favorites.
