4.5
Life of Pi is one of those books that you can envision an entire unit in an English class being focused on. The amount of complex symbolism and significance that is portrayed in a book I just assumed would be about a boy surviving on a boat with a tiger is astronomical. Yes, life of Pi is about survival, but it is also about the complex surrealism of storytelling, religious exploration/symbolism, adaptability, the challenges of life, the duality of nature and so so many more. You could take an entire college course only going into the nitty gritty details and symbols of this story and you still wouldn’t be able to wrap your head around all the complexities of this story.
Yes, the beginning was slow and I was honestly almost tempted to quit because it took 40-50% of the book to really get into the deep stuff, but the exposition is 100% necessary to get to know Pi before the ship sinking and to get your brain pondering Pi’s dilemmas/thought processes.
Overall I do not care what anyone says this book is a masterpiece and to anyone who can’t see that they need to come back and read this in 5 years when they’ve become wiser and are ready to let their imagination run during this story.
HUGE TWs for animal suffering, animal death, human suffering, and human death.
