I think I would have liked this novel a little better if I casually stumbled upon it, but in my case, I think it was overly hyped. The first 1/3 of the book was pretty slow and took me a while to get through, but looking back on it, Pi's description of how he found religion (in many forms) was one of my favorite parts. Once he was lost at sea, the story certainly became interesting, but I didn't feel it was as amazing as others made it out to be.

Great story about a boy on a lifeboat with a tiger. I loved it!
