Life of Pi, by Yann Martel.
Pages: 315.
This was a pretty fantastic read. It tells the story of a young Indian boy whose ship to Canada is sunk, and he becomes trapped in a life boat with a tiger for 227 days. The section concerning his survival at sea was indeed compelling, but to be honest, I enjoyed the first section about his childhood almost more. I loved how he came to practice Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism simultaneously, and how he reconciled them together. Also, the ending seemed like it lost both Pi and the original narrator/author. I would have liked to have more closure with them. But other than that, it was a great narrative, and I was never bored.
