Great and a very descriptive book.
Good for a one time read
It is simply about a boy Pi who lives with his family in Pondicherry, and own a zoo where there are all kinds of people. Once, the decide to shift to Canada and start living there. The commute from Pondicherry to Canada through a cargo ship. They have their animals, luggage and themselves on the ship. Unfortunately due to high tides, the ship sinks and is ruined. Pi Patel finds a lifeboat and swims with all his might in it. In the lifeboat there is a Zebra, hyena, rat and a BENGAL TIGER(RICHARD PARKER). The story commences forward and the writer tells its readers his experience with Richard Parker and all that he had done in the 227 days in the Pacific ocean. The story ends when Pi finds an island with green trees which sooths his eyes after so much blue from the sea. The story further goes on in with an interview from Okamoto where he asks Pi all about what had happened and how the ship sank. It was a very heated conversation and an interesting one.
As a review, I'd say that no one can find a better book than this which is so descriptive and imaginative. Yann Martel surely has a vivid imagination and a very strong power to think out of the box.
Sometimes in the middle, it sounds a bit boring, but that is perfectly alright and it did not mind me a lot.
