while at times melancholic and slow, Life of Pi can also be exhilarating and action packed. filled with beautiful lines and a protean pace, this book is one that will definitely stay with you for a while. 

there are some gruesome aspects and some moments the slowness can drag on for a frustratingly long time, but overall very much worth the read. it is a book you won’t soon forget, that’s for sure.

Perhaps my perspective would change, having read this book years ago but the 'boring' part in the beginning talking about the zoo is maybe my favorite part of the book. Something about it really stuck when I was like 14 or so.
