Life of Pi is sometimes devilishly exciting, and at other times wonderfully playful, an adventure novel. It is a fairy tale, with practical value included. Life of Pi is one of the most beautiful, intense books in years! A small literary sensation. A home run - Canadian author Yann Martel has created a fantastic fairy tale with his novel, while also providing a frighteningly realistic study of the struggle for survival. An absolutely astonishing parable that rightfully won the Booker Prize. Yann Martel's novel is wonderful: witty, touching, cruel, and thrilling, and like every good story, it is of course true, because it couldn’t be any other way; otherwise, it would be unbearable. A gripping adventure novel with surprising twists.
