Life of Pi

Elanor · 08-18-2005, 05:58 PM

I just started reading this book. Found it on my sister's shelf and just took a break to come online for a few minutes. It seems very interesting, with lots of philosophical and religious ideas. Also very exciting as it features a kid who floats through the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger as his only companion. Has anyone else read this? What did you think? I'll return to sum up my opinions when I've finished it...

My dad checked it out in spanish (he likes to keep practice). I didn't really look into it that much. I read the back cover

I love Life of Pi! It's one of my favourite books. You should read it, HB. It's amazing, IMO.

It is such a good book! It's really interesting and funny and sad and confusing.

Life of Pi is a great book. A cool fact about it is that it is going to be M. Knight Sh......'s, (the guy who made Sixth Sense and the Village) next movie. I don't know who's in it, but it'll be cool, I'm sure.

Hmm...I just might. (not in spanish, that would take too long).

I love Life of Pi! It's totally fascinating. What a great read... it seems like it might just have happened somewhere (then your brain says, noooo it's too fantastical) then the character is so compelling....

So... is everything that happened literally true, or it was a thirst-induced hallucination... or somewhere in between?

They're making a movie out of this book? *boycotts*
