I read the first part of Life of Pi earlier this year. Then, I decided to put it down for who knows what reason. I, now, regret doing that because of how great that book actually is. I now can appreciate such a good book after I have finished it. This adventurous book explains his struggles when he's left on a boat with a tiger. At the end of the book, there is the disbelief of his story, and, although his story compels you to believe his story, it is an unbelievable story. He claims it to be an all too real experience for him throughout the book. I think this book is fiction, I almost believe that it's a true story.
I also loved this book for the fact that there's a great show of human vs. nature. A young adult boy experience the real world all too soon. Real world, in this sense, means the great outdoors of the Pacific Ocean, all while he's trying to save his life and a 450 pound tiger's life. This book tells in detail about his survival. The whole time, I was supporting his life in the book. I wanting his to succeed in feeding himself and finding drinkable water and living on a lifeboat with a huge tiger. The story just drew me in. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a book. I would especially recommend this for people who like survival and outdoor stories.

ReplyDeleteI quite agree with you, Morgan. I myself was questioning if the book was really fiction. I thought it was a truly book with stuggle and hope. Great post! :)
