Horror for Newbies
Pj asked this question about Life of Pi:
Why am I having problems with the beginning of this book? My pet peeve of using to many 'I's and 'You' in prose... is there a plot? Should I just go ahead and watch the movie? (I'm usually a classic reader, but this book was such the rave....I usually go against the flow of popular)
Sheherazahde It took me literally 3 years to finish reading this book.
It was a hard slog in the middle. Being lost at sea is boring.
It picks up around chapter 84…moreIt took me literally 3 years to finish reading this book.

It picks up around chapter 84, when he sees a whale. And there is lightning storm in chapter 85. In Chapter 92 he finds a floating island. That was pretty cool.
There are exactly 100 chapter. that helped.
