Yann Martel

Life of Pi is a masterful and utterly original novel that is at once the story of a young castaway who faces immeasurable hardships on the high seas, and a meditation on religion, faith, art and life that is as witty as it is profound. Using the threads of all of our best stories, Yann Martel has woven a glorious spiritual adventure that makes us question what it means to be alive, and to believe.

"I found this book very interesting and really enjoyed it. But once you are in part two of the book it’s a lot of the same thing for a long time. But if you love adventure and something to put you on edge this is a great one. It also had short chapters for the people that love that. "

"One of my favorites. The first 100 pages are hard to push through but SO worth it. "

"This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I’ll read it again. "

"If you've seen the movie, which I have not, I would imagine the book will not leave you as horrified as it did me. It's worth the time, if for no other reason than to consider how deeply we allow ourselves to bury our heads in the sand. "

"A perfectly well-written book that bored me senseless. "

"The beginning will be rough if you’re not religious, though this book was insanely well-written and thorough. Yann Martel did some excellent research and it shows. Part two, where every chapter held a lot of the same things, still kept me hooked. There are hundreds of moments in this book that intrigued me. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure and unique storytelling. "
