The one without. But the one with Richard Parker is less heartbreaking to read, right? I was shocked when Pi told the version without Richard Parker.
I was shocked too!!! Ugh, the one without Richard Parker is so very heartbreaking...So, do you think he made up the story with Richard Parker in order to not deal with or accept what he went through?
(have you seen the movie!!?? Absolutely amazing!!)
Yes I believe so. Poor Pi witnessing the death of his mother that way. Did you cry reading this one? I cried and I still cannot pick up another book. I need time to calm down first :)
I still haven't watched the movie. I wanted to read the book first :) Now about the cannibalism :( It was so gruesome.
oh ugh, the people eating!! YES!! That...that was so gross!! Argh....just ew.No, somehow I didn't cry...because I didn't side with that version of the story.
I believe the one with Richard Parker is the real story. :)
I see :) I cried when he said good bye to Richard Parker when he thought he was going to die. And again when he told the version without Richard Parker.I rather die then eating another person. It is just so wrong in any level.
This book is similar to
which I read last year. It was not as good as Life of Pi though.
I loved this book! :) Amazing, I really want to believe the story with Richard. By the way (view spoiler) I so want to watch the film!
It is impossible. I haven't watch the movie either. Last time, I hadn't read the book, so I decided to wait. Now, I'm going to buy the DVD when it's released :)
It's a great book, I love how you have to pay attention to all the details because they're relevant, even the debates with the priest and the acceptance of the muslim faith had a relevance to his survival story.
Same here! Th movie is apparently amazing as well!I love Hinduism, Islam and Christianity were described in the book, it explained them well
The movie is a bit disappointing to me.
You watched it?? Was it not as good as the book?
The book is way better. The ending in the movie was so disappointing :(
Oh, I guess I should watch it sometime. But I hate it when the movie is not up to the mark (but that is what usually happens)
I hate this book. When had to read it in English sophomore year, and it sucked.

I was looking forward to watch the ending when Pi told another version without Richard Parker. And a lot of scenes were not included, like when Pi went temporary blind.
That part was really awesome :\ I hate it when movies forget the little parts that mean so much
i seriously want to read this book! but im also dying to see the movie!!!!!!! XD
