I read the book, The Life of Pi,
sometime back in June—and I soon won’t forget it! This book was very
captivating; if you’ve ever read Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell,
and enjoyed it, this book may be for you.
The
boy, Pi, lives in India, with his father, mother, and brother. The beginning
tells us of his life, seemingly normal, before we find out that he and his
family live in a zoo. Pi grows interested in religion, and he becomes almost
like a philosopher. Everything in his life is normal—until one day, his family
decides to pack up and move. Upon the boat that will take them to America,
something goes horribly wrong.
I
would suggest that more mature and advanced readers read this book, as it does
have vocabulary in it that some may find hard to understand, and it can be a
pretty slow read. Also, as you may know, The Life of Pi was made into a
movie, so cracking open the spine for a scan wouldn’t hurt, right?
