I was enjoying this book right up until Part III. Thats when the story stopped being an improbable tale of Pi and his tiger on a lifeboat and turned into an overdone "twist". This book would have stayed great had it not been for Martel trying to make everything mean something else. I'd have preferred to stay in my fantasy land.

I was unsure of this book after first finishing it. I couldn't make up my mind on whether I liked it or not. The book requires deep thought to get to the story the author is trying to tell. After thinking about it long after I read it, the symbolism is amazing and I came to realize it was a book I had to read and digest over a period of time to get the full capacity of its powers.

Excellent book with great use of allegory. Very imaginative and thought provoking. It tends to read slow at times, but yet is captivating throughout. An important book of modern times that many people will be discussing.
