melodyseestrees's review against another edition

The audiobook did not help me get past the religious overtones and graphic animal harm. When you are not bored and being preached at you are being slapped in the face with some cruelty towards animals.

melodyseestrees's review against another edition

I tried so hard and yet I longed for the tiger to eat Pi's face so the misery would end. This book is wildly not for me. I cannot stand the animal violence and casual cruelty. I found the religious overtones frustrating. This is a book that was not meant for me and spent way too many years on my TBR.

This book deals with the extreme situation of being lost at sea for several months and everything that goes along with it. For the majority of the book, the main character is sevearly dehydrated. This is a book about trauma and survival and spirituality/religion.
