Life of Pi

Life of pi, Written by Yann Martel is about a boy who's name is Picene Molitor Patel (Pi Patel) who lives in India and loves exploring the different cultures and religions of the world. His father is a zoo keeper. When Pi and his father decide that there is a better political and social life somewhere else, they set off on a boat to Toronto, Canada, to set up a new zoo there. When the boat they are on sinks, pi goes on a wild adventure on a rescue boat in the middle of the ocean with a hyena, zebra and a Bengal tiger he calls Richard Parker. It all comes down to whether he can survive without getting eaten. This book is for people who like surprises and description. It is a very thought provoking and mystical. Not magical, but very strange. This book is also very adventurous, even though he is on a boat for the majority of the book.


I absolutely loved this book. It's beginning might bore people, but the rest is fabulous. It's main character, Pi, was a "not your average character" character. After I read this book, I closed it, stopped in silence for a minute, and said "WOW." I was recommended this book by my mother. She too, said wow. I'm sure, even if you don't like very descriptive books, a part of you will just say, "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I am reading this book and wanted to write what i thought about the beginning. YES....VERY BORING...but i am really excited to start part two. I think that the only reason part one might be boring is it goes on and on about details related to his thoughts on religion. Don't know why this author wrote so much about religion but it must be for a reason.

I agree with the previous post that it had a lot of detail. But I think that it was boring through out the book.
