Hey guys,
I just felt the need to share this wonderful and inspirational story with. "The Life of Pi" is the amazing tale of a boy who survives 227 days stranded on the Pacific Ocean... witha Bengal Tiger. This is a very mature book, with many confusig tricks, turns, and allusions. I still think everyone should read it, though. It is completely fictional, with amazing and awe-inspiring events portrayed in the epic majesty of the wild Pacific. My mind is urging me to describe to you in complete detail every single unbeleivable event, but I truly don't want to possibly ruin this magnificent story for potential readers. As a taste, I will copy the teaser from the back.
After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary
lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific.
The only suvivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-
old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken
leg), a female orang-utan... and a 450-pound Royal
Bengal Tiger.

The scene is set for one of the extraordinary works of fiction in recent years.

After reading this, my mind is full of riddles hidden in the story that I cannot decipher. It is truly worthy of The Man Booker Prize 2002 and being one of The New York Times bestsellers.

I always liked Bengal tigers. Maybe it's because they can swim?
