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...
At long last, I finally finished Life of Pi.Let's start with what I hated about this book. There's only one thing I disliked; there are some very graphic descriptions. I suggest that if you read Life of Pi, you should have a strong stomach. And that's all I disliked. The writing was beautiful (excep...
I read it because I'd seen the film. I was expecting more divergence than is normally the case. The film has startling imagery; the book has excellent prose description to balance, though they do not always match. Details differ (e.g. the fate of the diary), but not disconcertingly so, and the we...
3.5I took up this book only because the movie i had watched earlier! I was so much captivated by the concept specially the surviving part of Pi with a tiger and the end, that it really made me curious to know every little thing in detail. But it took almost a year for me to finally pick up this boo...
I really liked this novel--a lot. A lot more than I thought I would. Mind you, this has both popular acclaim and critical kudos. It's a big bestseller, one of the top in that year, and it's a winner of the Booker Prize (British commonwealth equivalent of the American Pulitzer). However, the descript...
I was going to give this book only three stars. The first part of the story which happened in India was really interesting but it wasn't as good as the picture that was shown in [b:The Satanic Verses|12781|The Satanic Verses|Salman Rushdie|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1281988101s/1278...
I loved the first third of this book. I loved Pi and his rambling thoughts about life, animals, religion, and experience. 5 stars up to that point. But after the shipwreck it drifted down to 3 stars, so I'll give it 4 overall. The lifeboat experiences became tedious, too many gory details, although ...
I think that this was an incredibly daring book that could so easily never have got published. Thank goodness it did though because I think it might just be one of those books that lasts through the generations.
I love this book. I know some hate it, but I love it. I not religious in the traditional sense. I don't believe in organised religion. I believe in finding God in any way it suits each individual. Don't even call it God if you don't want to! Call it spirituality, call it your soul, call it a thous...
