Review of 'LIFE OF PI' on 'Goodreads'
Bleah, so preachy.
Paperback, 428 pages
Published Dec. 7, 2012 by Canongate Books Ltd.
After a tragic shipwreck, a solitary lifeboat is left at the mercy of the wild blue waters of the Pacific. The only survivors are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a zebra with a broken leg, a hyena, an orang-utan — and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. Now a major motion picture from acclaimed director Ang Lee, the much loved Life of Pi is a bewitching tale of adventure and friendship — and of finding courage in the most unexpected places.
Bleah, so preachy.
Someone I know stopped reading this book early on, due to all the religious philosophy on the beginning. I stuck with it just to see where it would go, and it took me somewhere COMPLETELY different. It made an impression on me, and I turned around & bought this for my mother.
