This is one of those books which creep up behind you unnoticed and when u least expect it hit you right in the forehead.
I had finished three quarters and the language was simple (which i didn't expect considering this book got the Booker) and story pretty fantastic and not exactly gripping....

A Series of Disappointments

I think my negative reactions are all to do with disappointed expectations. LOP is a Booker prize winner and I was led to believe it was a realistic exciting tale of adventure and survival with a dash of philosophy. It is not.

LOP is about a boy Pi...

    Jennie's "I tried to love you" book. Tried several time. Kerry and Maddy and Lara and Kimberly liked it. Actually Maddy was on the fence.

    uhmmm... nice. its not boring as expected (like the Old Man and the Sea). However, I did not seem to appreciate the significance of his faiths (Buddhism, Islam and Christianity) in his survival which is for me should have been profoundly expressed in the book. I don't seem to like the ending too... its a bit sad. But its a must read for me. You can learn a lot about religion, faith and survival, not only in a shipwreck but also in every life.

    Love Love Love this book. It's one of those rarer newer books that feels instantly like your old friend the classic.

    Great story. The ending was a bit off in my opinion. I love the adventure of it.
