#16 Life of Pi by Yann Martel

October 7, 2009

Life of Pi is a story about an Indian boy’s adventures.
The first part of this book deals extensively with religion and is actually pretty dull. It is strange, because the rest of the book does not seem to need the first part of the book at all. The editor, if there was one, could have left this on the cutting room floor.
I was really turned off after the first hour or so of Life of Pi….I only continued to listen because it was the only audiobook I currently had.
Life of Pi then shifted gears and had me hooked. The shipwreck, castaway, and the rest of the book in general are fantastic. I do not want to give too much of this book away – I want you to read/listen to it!
This is a story of love, loss, courage, fear, hopelessness and salvation. You will like it.
11 hours.
