The Life of Pi
by Yann Martel
Piscine Molitor Patel, also known as Pi, begins his life story in India as a son of a zoo keeper. When his family decides to sell the animals and relocate to Canada, they board a cargo ship and ready for a new life.
This is where the story of the life of Pi begins. Pi tells his story as the cargo ship sinks and how he found himself trapped in a life boat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a tiger named Richard Parker. Pi and Richard Parker learn to live with each other and spend 227 days at sea.
The way pi describes the sea, fish turtles, his hunger, loneliness, helplessness, and bliss was beautiful. I loved this book and how it had me guessing until the end.
