Life of Pi by Yann Martel: 1st May

Although the movie based on Life of Pi has been out for a long time, I still haven't read the book. But, I'm planning to fix that! If you haven't read it either, why not join me? If you have read it already, let me know your thoughts!

Since monthly read theme of May is "Night at the movies", this could serve as a way to participate in two topics at once!

How did this get chosen? I don't remember voting, but perhaps I did. I read this one before the film came out, so not looking to read it again. Ah youth, to me Life of Pi didn't come out that long ago, but to Mion it was ages. :)

Oh, it's not monthly read! It's just a buddy read that also fits May's monthly read topic, since I definitely intend to read it this year! How did you enjoy the book?

I liked the book, and it was recommended to me by a friend. My impression reading it (although that may be wrong) was that it was a spiritual journey so I couldn't figure out how they were going to make a film of it, but the film was very good, as well as visually stunning, although I've only seen it once.
