Summary: Wonderful
Review: When I first heard about Life of Pi, I thought the plot (all I knew was it was about a kid stranded on a lifeboat) sounded boring. My mom read it & reccomended it to me, then my brother did the same, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I read it!! It is about so much more than I thought it was. This novel left me thinking about it for days after finishing, and I would love to reread it some day. I think I would pick up on even more the second time around. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to think about the books they read, or to anyone who loves good fiction.

Summary: First Rate Fiction
Review: As a student of many religions (but a person of a single faith), I was fascinated by the character Pi from the start. This book is a beautifully written, thought provoking book about faith, about survival, about the transition from childhood to adulthood, about the strength of the soul and it's ability to tame (though not completely conquer because that is impossible) the most beastly parts of ourselves, and so many other things. I finished reading this book days ago, and I still find myself thinking about it frequently, finding new meanings in it,etc.

Summary: Timeless classic
Review: When a book of this caliber comes along you owe it to your friends to let them know. I've already purchased ten copies to distribute. I think that says alot about my opinion of this storyteller and the plot. As yet, no complaints from reciprocants, only bravissimos.

Summary: A Classic Like "Treasure Island"
Review: In comparing modern books to the classics of yesteryear, I am convinced "Life of Pi" will not only be considered a modern classic for this decade, it will come to be regarded as this decade's "Treasure Island." I do not mean to insinuate that it is a modern adaptation of "Treasure Island". Most assuredly "Life of Pi" is its own story. The themes that make "Treasure Island" a timeless classic though are the same ones that now are the appeal of "Life of Pi" - a boy on his own, at sea, learning right and wrong, learning survival, learning how to be a man. As freely as it may be said that "My Fractured Life" is our decade's "Catcher in the Rye" and "Secret Life of Bees" is our time's "Color Purple", I am certain that "Life of Pi" will come to be recognized as one of our modern classics, with the same classic appeal of "Treasure Island".

Summary: Praise from a fat man, a very fat man
Review: I am built like a barge and float very well. I took a holiday once in France and floated down the river with a farmer's cat sitting on my belly. Some kids had brought the cat over in a rubber boat and put it on me. I liked the cat, although he dug his claws into my belly because he was frightened. I became a bit frightened of the cat but I didn't want to push him off. If I tried, I expect he may have turned vicious. But I wanted his company too. So in my own small way I have lived the life of Pi, and had some very deep thoughts too as I floated along. It's no news that this is a rewarding book. I loved it. Equally absorbing is a new book called IN THE GHOST COUNTRY, about a man who eats 7000 calories of fat and butter a day and yet starves to death on his walk to the South Pole. Along the way his mother's ghost walks with him to keep him company. It's a weird and moving true story and great motivation for me to keep on my new diet.

Summary: Intriging and exciting book for all readers!
Review: As a reader of The life of Pi and a student attending LaLumiere, a private school in the North-West, I found this book to be very exciting in content and very detailed in story. This is my most favorite novel that I have ever read because it describes the life of Pi, a young boy who grows up trying to find himself in a world full of numerous religions. He explores several different religions and then combines them all into his beliefs to make up his own. Once he finds himself, his stamina, religion, and spirituality are put to the test when he becomes stranded out in the middle of the ocean with four animals, while his family and others are laid to rest upon the ocean floor with the sunken ship. One by one, each animal gets killed off by another until there is only Pi and Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger, left on the life raft. I cannot spoil the story about who dies next in the story, for you will have to read it yourself. Trust me, it is really a worthwhile experience to read through this book. And who knows? You may even find your own spiritual self within this novel.
