This book was amazing. It started off very, very slowly which is why it took me so long to finally finish. Part 1 of the book tells about Pi's early life, and how he became Catholic, Muslim, and Hindu. Part 2 of the book is the story of his struggle to survive after the ship he is on sinks in the Pacific Ocean. He must struggle to live while he shares a boat with a Bengal Tiger. Part 3 is extremely short and consists of an interview with the Japanese company who owned the ship. This book had a huge message, a huge huge message. I cried at the end of the book. It's not sad, but because of the realization of what I wished to believe. Read this book. It's going on my Must Read list. It's a book that will make you a better more enlightened person.
On a side note...My friend, Charlcee, made me read this book so we could go watch the movie. I'm not sure I want to see the movie. I think the movie will take away from the central message of the story. I don't know if I want to see that happen. Anyhow, hope all is well in your corner of the world. I'm a busy girl here trying to get photos edited and get over my sick spell. I blame Erik for sharing his germs. Have a great evening.
