Yann Martel’s Life of Pi is a novel that you should (0) never/not read late in the evening if you intend to get to sleep/to get some sleep at night! It is definitely a page-turner; I personally found it absolutely impossible to put/lay down before I had read it cover to cover. The book tells the unusual story of a sixteen-year-old boy, Pi. While Pi is making the voyage from India to Canada on a boat full of zoo animals, his boat sinks. Being the only human survivor, he finds himself sharing a lifeboat with a menagerie of creatures, including a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a 200 kg Bengal Tiger.
Although the book is written in a fairly simple style, it examines some very complex themes. In general, the novel reads like a fable or a fairy tale as it discusses the question of faith and belief.
If you read only (22) ......?........... good book this year, I would strongly recommend Martel’s Life of Pi. The writer has come up with a story that is enlightening, humorous and therefore highly entertaining.
