#1 Life of Pi

The author’s note is pretty neat, in how he has travelled and met Pi Patel and stuff that isn’t real but written well enough to be so. And now the book…creeps, creeps and more creeps along. I think that killed my bored manner. Pi’s story is a very detailed and crazy realistic one. Personally, I like the name Piscine its strange, and the story of the zoos and learning to swim was just cool. It’s a great insight into one’s life, especially with the atheist communist teacher that reminds me of history stories, so I relate to that! But the multiple religions that Pi experienced becoming as he aged were also incredibly detailed, must have been well researched, but I can see where the book would test faiths sometimes. However, I agree with his hate, but I like how he decided on Christianity when questioned about it later, and when confronted about being three religions. Overall, the book is interesting, but rather dull in the first several pages.
