4.0

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.
