Life of Pi (Yann Martel) ***

319 pages. This was a very interesting book about a young boy (Pi, short for Piscine) who survives in a lifeboat in the ocean for 7 months. His only companion is a Bengal Tiger, who he manages to train. The first part of the book was a little slow, with a religious slant to it (Pi practices Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam). The second part was hard to put down, and the third part made me stop and rethink the whole book. I really enjoyed it.
