The Life of Pi

I just finished reading The Life of Pi for book club and I had forgotten how much I like it. I read it when I was pregnant with Connor and tried to get Jorma to read it when I was through. I guess I didn’t give the book enough description because Jorma thought that the entire book was about a kid trapped in a lifeboat with a tiger. I guess because it is.For me this book has it all. A survival situation, three religions and animals. What more could I ask for in a book? And it’s SO well written. The story is a little slow starting out, but it’s easy to read because the writing is so poetic. Once you are about a third of the way through the book though, you won’t be able to put it down. It took me a week to get through the first third, but the remainder of the book I read in two days. For me that means during naps and while I’m hiding in the master bath after putting Tristan in the crib, so that he doesn’t see me and can practice putting himself to sleep.
So this time, Jorma has vowed to read it and if you are looking for something good to read... let me know how you liked it.
