After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan… and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years.
This book is amazing. The story of Pi's "adventure" is at times sad, humorous, suspenseful, dramatic. All of this plus lots of wisdom among the many layered allegories.
