Life of Pi

[Mouko]

I finished it a while ago, and I just noticed that it's on Mr. Good's reading list. I hope he enjoys it as much as I did. It's an excellent book, and quite unlike any other I've read.

 

Anybody else read it..?

[Crusader]

Hmm... I haven't read it. Care to tell me what it's about without giving away the story? ;)

[Mouko]

Set in the 70s... It's about an Indian kid whose father owns an zoo in India. They decide to move to Canada because of political changes, but their ship sinks and the kid is stranded ona life raft with various animals. It's really good, although it sounds abstract as hell.

You can flip through some of the pages of the book if ou like

 

 

I'm going to buy it one of these days

[Mouko]

It's worth it, mark my words. And there really aren't any points where you think 'Bah, this is boring... get on with it', like a lot of other books I could mention.

[Dan #1]

I own this book... havent read it yet though.

[Lauren]

its on the list, i'll get there.

I also own that book but haven;t read it yet. Right now I'm reading confessions of a shopaholic. It's very funny. I swear its a book about me and I still haven't read Harry Potter #5.

I own Life of Pi too. Still haven't read it all the way through though, I think I'm around page 50.

it's really good. I like the part where he discovers....well, not going to say, for those who haven't read it yet. Heard they're going to make it into a movie.

I heard M. Night Shyamalan will be working on a movie for "Life Of Pi"... But is there really going to be a movie for it?

yes, it's gonna happen. release date is around 2005, i think.

[mg_forlife]

Good to know. I guess I better finish the book by the time the movie comes out. ;)

[S.E. Hardy]

I just finished it--I fell completely in love with it. It is one of only two books that has ever made me cry.

[eeleye]

I'm another own but have not read person. I look forward to, but have got mixed reviews on how gripping / boring it is. But since it claims to be able to make you believe in god, and seems to me to be a book I would like, I will of course delve right in when I get the chance.

[mg_forlife]

Nothing has happened yet where I am (the same place as I was the last time I posted). He's just describing animals and where they live.

[Crusader]

Hm. I was reading this at Chapters yesternight. It wasn't as amusing as I'd hoped for.

[S.E. Hardy]

But it is--you just have to give it time to develop.
