Book Review #2: Life of Pi

Life of Pi
by Yann Martel

"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."

When a book keeps you up at night, prevents you from sleeping because you need to know what happens in the next chapter, the author did their job. They telling you a story that captivates your imagination and now you wanna ride the wave the whole way through. Thats how I felt reading Life of Pi.
Life of Pi is a magical reading experience, an endless blue expanse of storytelling about adventure, survival, and ultimately, faith. There are 2 parts to this novel. The first is the introduction of the protagonist, a 16-year-old Pi Patel who struggles with finding what religion is right for him. 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.Pi recounts the harrowing journey as the days blur together, elegantly cataloging the endless passage of time and his struggles to survive. This book will take you on a roller coaster and you wont see the ending coming.
