Piscine Molitor Patel - «Deram-me o nome de uma piscina. Facto assaz estranho, se considerarmos que os meus pais nunca se afeiçoaram à água.» - ou Pi Patel, estava destinado a fazer a viagem duma vida.

E que viagem!

Determinado, com uma furiosa vontade de viver, um lutador até ao fim, incapaz de renunciar é uma formidável lição não só para aqueles que desistem da vida apenas com um suspiro resignado, mas também para os outros que rapidamente perdem a esperança.

Simultaneamente, - a religião está muito presente neste livro - nos momentos de aflição, dor, resistência, desolação e agonia de um sofrimento constante eleva os seus pensamentos para Deus (s).

Its the book of opposites. Its divided in 3 parts. I totally hated the first part. It seemed unimportant,pretentious and quite a stretched out section. Fortunately, it turned out to be totally worth the pain, as it indeed was important to the story. After the part 1, I finished the whole book in 1 go. It was really an exciting second part and a thrilling third and final part. The premise being set in India,did make the book special to me.

Yam Martel's beautiful writing contrasts with the survival horror experienced by his main protagonist Pi Patel.
