Life of Pi paints a vivid story of a young Indian boy, lost at sea on a life raft, constantly at danger with a Siberian tiger.
The book is written in diary form, with an exact number of 100 chapters. The best thing about the book is the feeling of empathy. You can almost hear Pi telling you about his adventures, describing his surroundings with great detail.
I strongly recommend this book. It won the Man Booker award, and tells a compelling story about survival. We see human nature laid bare, naked from fear, desperation, and the need to live. Life of Pi will leave you with satisfying questions.
Who would enjoy this book? Ages 15+.
