5.0 out of 5 stars Magic and Mystic, August 18, 2009

By	Virginia R. Cody - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Life of Pi is one of the most profound books I've ever read. It is a story the mirrors the path one must take on the Tree of Life. The name of the Japanese ship alone Tsimtsum is the clue to the adventure this young boy has as he reaches for adulthood and spiritual completeness. To begin this book requires courage....it is not like other books you have read; it is not about a culture you are familiar with. But in the end, it is about the search we all started at birth...the maneuvering of the different paths one faces throughout life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, June 26, 2009

By	Love Tailgate (Carson, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazing, powerful and very moving novel. It's comical yet educational, spiritual, and mind-challenging. It forces the reader to evaluate humanity and to question truth. The novel is a story, it's told in 2 perspectives, and without giving too much, Yann Martel lets the reader develop a conclusion after two same but different stories are told.

Love it

4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book, June 10, 2009

I initially had a hard time getting into this book (Friends have said the same) but I'm glad I stuck it out as it gets much better. I'm not one of those that give endings away so I'll just say, the ending was worth getting through the beginning.
