“A story to make you believe in God”-was my #decemberbook and it left me with more questions than answers. Superficially a teenage boy,Pi’s family transport ship from India to Canada sinks and he survives for 227 days in a lifeboat with a tiger( his family had a zoo). The boy is forced, alone, to face the fear of death from the ocean, from sharks, from starvation, from thirst and, from his lifeboat mate the tiger. It’s a story of suffering, pain and unimaginable anguish in which you as a reader hope and wish that he’s found but it’s a long time coming. And when it comes to God — I didn’t find the novel “a story to make me believe in God.” I already do, but, if I were a non-believer, I don’t think I would find faith proven by this book.
Finally, when he’s found he gives two accounts of the story- one with animals and one without animals because his interviewers didn’t believe his animal story. Maybe the book is allegorical and when we hear interesting and vibrant stories that stretch our credulity, we shouldn’t be so hard-assed about insisting on reason and likelihood. And finally, that life is more interesting, more vibrant, if we think there is a God

10/10- this is one of the best books that I’ve ever read. I was truly moved and gripped from the start by the incredible story of suffering, intelligence and survival of Pi Patel. Both Martel and Pi are beautiful storytellers and I really couldn’t put the book down from the day I picked it up. I was shocked by the ordeal that Pi went through as well as the courage he showed in circumstances I can hardly imagine for their difficulty. It is a spiritual work of non-fiction and I am beyond pleased that he survived all obstacles to bring a miraculous story to the world. I love how there was a balance of descriptive language and intellectual/ spiritual thought in the novel. Pi was an incredible boy who was smart and tactful to survive the difficulties he had to endure. I wished more people had believed his story and I deeply respect to his modest and humble nature, even to this day. I admire his spiritual commitment throughout his life, and I think that everyone must read this novel.

A very sad allegorical tale about grief, human suffering, and the determination for survival. I can't say I didn't enjoy it. At times, I just wanted Richard Parker to eat Pi and get on with it. By the end, I felt for Pi so tremendously that I wondered why I made myself suffer by reading this entire tale!
