Life of Pi Review

The Life of Pi is one of the best books I have ever read. It is the story of Pi, a young Indian boy, who's father owns a Zoo. His father decides to sell some of the animals to a zoo in Canada. During the course of transporting the animals on a ship across the ocean, the ship sinks. Pi finds himself on a lifeboat with several animals, including a tiger named Richard Parker. Needless to say, it is soon only Pi and Richard Parker traveling together. This is the fantastical story of their journey. It is a book you will not be able to put down. It starts a little slow, but builds quickly. It is like nothing else I have ever read. I have passed the book on to several other people, who also enjoyed it immensely. It is the kind of book that stays with you, and you will remember it long after you have read it. I consider this book a "keeper" which means it is the kind of book you will wish to read over again. Don't hesitate to read this one.
