Defiantly funny in the face of total devastation, but more than that, ever hopeful. I guess that last is the best part of strong faith. The important part. Inner piece and enduring hope. Here's the deal: I'm an agnostic. We get roasted inside *grin*. I could go a long while about the difference be...
'Life of Pi' made the World Book Night list for 2011 and rightly so. Martel has created a modern masterpiece, which is beautifully written. The storyline is unusual and all the more absorbing for it. The ending too is intriguing and though the movie interpretation is good, it can't do full justice t...
I've been avoiding Yann Martel's Life of Pi since it was published. It's nothing personal. I avoid stories "that will make you believe in God" (x) like a person with a peanut allergy in a Thai restaurant. I finally caved when a colleague at my university's English department pushed it on me and told...
This is one of the most amazing books I've read so far. The ending stunned me. I found no words to describe it. Life of Pi has some magic in it, yet harsh and gory at the same time. Yann Martel did a great job.
i don't get the hype. must be a taste thing. I know people who love the book but cannot get into it myself. I like a good story that sucks me in. this book didn't do that.

It is a story about survival at sea, though with a twist--the castaway, Pi, shares his lifeboat with an adult Bengal tiger. Obviously, ...
After a shipwreck Pi survives 227 days on a lifeboat with Richard Parker on board, a tiger. At first there were other animals as well, a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, and an orangutan. The hyena kills the zebra and the orangutan, Richard Parker kills the hyena. Pi tells the story of how he survi...
I'm not sure how to review this book without spoilers in every other sentence, so I'm just going to spoiler tag the entire entry. I can't say I loved this book, in the end, or even that I really liked it as much as the 4 stars would indicate. I loved parts of it, where the writing was so compellin...
This was a case of "it's not you, it's me." There was nothing particularly wrong with the writing or the story, it just wasn't my cup of tea. There was some incredible imagery, but I found it disturbing rather than entertaining. I don't think my stomach can handle survival stories.The beginning of t...
