Book Reviews of Life of Pi
Book Review: A magical journey you'll want to believe in.
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't believe in god. The jacket of this book claims that this story will make me want to. This is a magical tale of survival, full of wonder and beautiful prose. It tells the story of a boy called Pi cast adrift on the Pacific Ocean after a shipwreck. For company he has a strange menagerie of zoo animals, the most important of which is 450 pound royal begal tiger. I couldn't put this book down; but the nearer the end I got the more slowly I read, not wanting it to stop. The twist in the tale did not make me believe in god; but what it did make me believe in is the power of the imagination to make us see the world in its best light.
