This is one of the best books I have ever read! I cannot wait to finish it. The images in the novel are heartbreakingly beautiful and unforgettable. I can't believe I waited so long to read it! David kept telling me how wonderful it is, and I had it on a "to read" list, but for some reason I never picked it up.
The story follows the main character Pi Patel. Yann Martel gives glimpses of Pi's life, including his experience of being stranded in a life boat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra and a Bengal tiger. I feel a sense of familiarity when I read this novel. The images and setting are foreign, but the emotions are so familiar. Happiness is Martel's sloth and the Pondicherry zoo. If you have not read this book-read it!
