After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors 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 most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years.

Review of 'LIFE OF PI' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I was surprised by the whole story, specially considering I bought the book because it has a tiger on the cover (my bad). It starts slowly (and maybe a little boring) but as soon as they get on that ship, I couldn't put the book down. I found it extremely intriguing since in my wildest dreams I couldn't make up where the story was going and the whole idea is so far-fetched, I couldn't help but read it ferociously to reach the end. Richard Parker will definitely stay with me. What a great read.
