I've been recommended this book for long by my mom (as always) and friends. I thought i would just borrow it for a day to read through a few pages but since i started reading, i just didn't want to return it.
Pi is a 16 years old boy and the only son of a zoo's manager is going on a trip to Canada with his family. After the ship sinks, he realises that he is the only one who survives and is drifting on a emergency boat in the middle of the Pacific ocean. He isn't alone actually, he is with a miserable zebra (with a broken leg), a spotted hyena, an ape that keeps vomiting of sea sick and especially a Bengal tiger that weights 450 pounds. How would he gets out of there....? I guess you just have to find out yourself since this book is so great. If i tell it would ruin everything interesting about the book.
I found this book pretty boring at first but if you have patience and keep reading and reading to about chapter 10 or so, you find it amazingly great. For the first time, i had such great patience in reading a hundred chapters book (really, this book really has 100 chapters. It was pretty funny when i reached chapter 9 and started screaming aloud: "When is it going to end!?!" but when i got to chapter 78, i didn't want it to end....). Well, you may say that patience is really important in reading, for some occasions... (Because there are a lot of books that last for 30 pages....). I think the book is available now in the library, i'm not really sure because i didn't borrow it from the library but from my mom's friend. Anyway, check it out, it's really good!!
