Finally had the time to read this book. It is a good read and one that ends in question.

I really liked it. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I never wanted to put it down. Pretty slow in the beginning so you kind of have to bear with it but, it’s crucial background and character building. It is essential to the book. I really enjoyed it :)

Less about the tiger, more about surviving at sea (valid).

There is some rough and raw shit in this book but the writer waits til you think the worst is past and then hits you with the scene with the two japanese guys. Made me feel so fucking empty

This book is the best I’ve read in a long time. I love this survival type of book and how it gave us such a loveable main character

the end of this book is a work of art and I loved it. It made me rethink so many things and it’s made the book very memorable. I still can’t decide what I really believe happened. The author gave us a story that seems like it should be straightforward and he turned it into something complex that makes you really dig deep. What do I believe happened? What would I do if I was Pi? How reliable is Pi as a storyteller?

. So , yes, the book is as great as people say it is and it is 100% worth reading!

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
