Today, I will be writing a review and summarizing the book called “The Life of Pi” by Yann Martel and it was 354 pages. The book “The Life of Pi” is fiction explaining his life's story. I’ll start off with Pi explaining his life in Toronto; during his high school and college. When he was younger his life was troubled in India, but he gets through this by learning zoology and religion. He met Francis Adirubasamy, a competitive swimmer, that was a business colleague to his father. Pi had a brother named Ravi and at an early age they had seen how dangerous animals could be. Pi also studied a couple of religions all at one time. Pi’s family decided to move to Canada, and go by ship with many animals.
While sailing the boat starts to sink and the crewmembers threw him on a lifeboat. Pi has found only some animals that were on the lifeboat with him and the tiger eventually gets on the boat. They keep going through the water and find an island. Pi finds human teeth around the fruit and believes the island people are cannibals. They went back to the sea and Pi was sent to a hospital. Pi tells his story on the ocean.
Most of the writing was based on Pi’s life and how he survived with a tiger as his friend.The book was decent; it was not in my interest, but to some people it may be fascinating. If you like survival books and some interesting times with animals this could be for you.
I remember watching "The Life of Pi" back in middle school and I can recall feeling very intrigued by the turn of events and the details revealed by the end. This review leaves me to hope I read this book soon in order to completely understand the themes behind it.
