Usually I read a book before I see a movie, but I was initially put off by this book by the hype surrounding it. After seeing the film, I was intrigued with the duality of the story and read the book searching for clues. I don't have the answers, but it's a good story. ...more

Some people grow, and others make you grow with them ! Pi had that effect on me.
I don’t know what the intended lessons of the book were but this is what I learned.
*A journey inward is what is needed in times of excruciating materialism.

*Love is a lesson you learn in times of bliss to find later in times of despair.

*Any knowledge you acquire will be called upon sooner or later, so be greedy for knowledge, and for life’s small details.

Funny, inspiring, and full of life!

my second reading.

Pi's story didn't have a 'proper' ending which somewhat irritated me.. - this majestic tale deserves a proper curtain call!
I want to know more about the tiger
I miss the main religious theme of the book. Might reread the beginning because of it. ...more

While the book started out slow, I really enjoyed how the imagination kept my mind moving. Well written in simple terms that allow you to feel the salt in your skin, to taste the blood of your cracked lips, and to see the vastness of the sea around you. Great for all ages.
