“An interesting book. There is also an illustrated special edition out there; a very nice addition to any bookshelf.”

“Wow. That was a massive disappointment and a waste of hours. Yes, the twist ending makes it slightly redeemable, but how surprising was the ending? The real surprise was that it was interesting (and well written), both of which the first couple of hundred pages were NOT. The symbolism and connections to religions, zoology, etc. should have made the read more compelling. I just found it to be an utter snore.”

“The book is so much a philosophical work than mere a fantasy. The amazing story of Pi signifies so many things. In many ways, this book nudges you to explore your belief in god. Loved the book in so many ways. Must read!”

“A frustratingly transparent book which follows a fairly clear "x symbolizes y" pattern throughout. The narrator is earnest to the point of being annoying. Also, setting the story up as though it's based on interviews with a real person misleads the reader into thinking it's not entirely fictional, which I think is a cheap trick. I enjoyed the forays into the worlds of theology and animal training but thought overall it was not a very well-written book.”

“Interesting historical fiction about a boy who leaves India for Canada and is shipwrecked with some of the zoo animals that were on their ship with them. I expected a different book and wasn't sure if I liked it at first. It grew on me and I did enjoy it. More of an adult book than a young adult book, though. My 14 year old wouldn't like it yet. Interesting twist at the end. ”

“The author's observations of zoology and religious studies are simple and thought-provoking. The tragic nature of the story is told with humor which somehow reflects faith. This book was an extremely satisfying read and will haunt me.”
