Very good, I just wish it didn’t take half of the book to actually get into the plot but after that it was great. I enjoyed the characters and the twist was fun the pacing was just off

This book was very interesting. I enjoyed the beginning but the farther I got the darker and more gruesome it went. I can understand how this reflects the descent of the mind as a survivor stranded on the ocean will do anything just to live but it was very hard to read. The end is very disturbing and I skimmed over most of the second story Pi tells.
It is truly an interesting book but please be aware of the content warnings and go in expecting some weird, challenging and dark things.
Another note is I did not enjoy or appreciate how this book portrayed religion or Christianity. It seems to be written by someone who has studied religion form the outside but never been apart of it and does not understand it nor believe in God.
