Amazon.com Review:
Yann Martel's imaginative and unforgettable Life of Pi is a magical reading experience, an endless blue expanse of storytelling about adventure, survival, and ultimately, faith. The precocious son of a zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India, where he tries on various faiths for size, attracting "religions the way a dog attracts fleas." Planning a move to Canada, his father packs up the family and their menagerie and they hitch a ride on an enormous freighter. After a harrowing shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat with a wounded zebra, a spotted hyena, a seasick orangutan, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker ("His head was the size and color of the lifebuoy, with teeth"). It sounds like a colorful setup, but these wild beasts don't burst into song as if co-starring in an anthropomorphized Disney feature. After much gore and infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat's sole passengers, drifting for 227 days through shark-infested waters while fighting hunger, the elements, and an overactive imagination. In rich, hallucinatory passages, Pi recounts the harrowing journey as the days blur together, elegantly cataloging the endless passage of time and his struggles to survive: "It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I've made none the champion."
An award winner in Canada, Life of Pi, Yann Martel's second novel, should prove to be a breakout book in the U.S. At one point in his journey, Pi recounts, "My greatest wish--other than salvation--was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One that I could read again and again, with new eyes and fresh understanding each time." It's safe to say that the fabulous, fablelike Life of Pi is such a book. --Brad Thomas Parsons
Product Description:
WINNER OF THE 2002 BOOKER PRIZE After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The crew of the surviving vessel consists of a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan, a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger and Pi -- a 16-year-old Indian boy. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary pieces of literary fiction of recent years.
Rating:
- Incredible Literary Adventure
This is one of my favorite books. Yann Martel makes us realize how animalistic humans can be in the most enjoyable way possible.
Rating: - try it in audio form
I have listened to this novel 3 times. It is a wonderful story, that many people could take many ways. but to listen to it..... the readers voice is so perfect for the story, and it lets you use all of your imagination to picture what you hear. You may think it starts slow, but don't give up, you'll be learning. And it will all be worth it. This book is such a treat.
Rating:
- Longer than necessary, slow, doesn't live up to hype
Honestly, this book is longer than necessary and moves WAY too slowly. Normally I can finish a book this length in a couple days. It took me weeks to drag myself through this book. It was by sheer will and determination that I even finished it. This book was recommended by a friend and Amazon based on other books I've read. It did NOT live up to the hype. There are so many books out there which are much better.
At no point did it ever make me want to believe in God. It's argument, God ... Read More
Rating:
- Worst book EVER!
Save your bucks, people -- here's the theme: we should believe in God because...it's the prettier story. What the hell? Is this guy kidding? How incredibly naive!
Martel must be targeting an audience of children, because I can't see how a mature adult could take this nonsense seriously.
What a bunch of malarkey. What a waste of time. Hey Martel, you hack! Give me back my money!
Rating:
- We believe what is familiar...
Life of Pi is an allegory about religion and how we individually assimilate the world and its meaning. The book has two distinct parts. The first half of the novel is Pi's life as the son of a zookeeper, followed by his survival at sea after a ship wreak.
The author does an excellent job of tying these to halves of his novel together in the final chapter. The book ends enigmatically, asking the reader to ponder his or her own belief system.
