"Life of Pi is a fantasy adventure novel by Yann Martel published in 2001. The protagonist, Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel, a Tamil boy from Pondicherry, explores issues of spirituality and practicality from an early age. He survives 227 days after a shipwreck while stranded on a boat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker."
I bought this book when the movie came out in 2012. A very impulsive buy because I never wanted to read it. Now the fruitmachine finally told me it was time to read this book and as I expected it did not live up to my expectations.
The book is divided in three parts, part one I found especially very boring. Part two got more exciting but as we got further in to part two it went a little boring as well. I really liked part three, but this was only around 30ish pages short.
I think that for me it got so boring that Pi was on the lifeboat for 227 days. If it was a lot shorter I think it would have been way more exciting, now it just felt like it had to be very comprehensive.
I know a lot of people absolutely adore this book but it was not put away for me, unfortunately.
