Life Of Pi

I finished Life of Pi a few days ago. I had originally started reading it several months back but just couldn't get into it. As with most books, I tried again later and found I could focus on the story a bit better.

This book was ROUGH!
It's about a young boy/man who is shipwrecked while he and his family are traveling from India to Canada.
This isn't just a normal Tom Hanks shipwrecking, however. The main character, Pi, is adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger for 227 days.

Yann Martel, the author, uses beautiful language to tell an ugly, terrifying story. The blood and guts described in the novel just oozes honesty.
When Pi was starving, I felt my stomach growl from hunger. When he was finally rescued, I felt his relief, until I learned the horrible truth. No...you'll have to read it for yourself.

I will read this book again because I know I will discover new things with each read. The ending surprised me and as I thought back to the story, I see where the author purposely misled the reader.

Read Life of Pi if you enjoy getting emotionally involved and you don't mind blood, intestines and rotting death.
