Review | Life of Pi




Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Published by Random House of Canada in 2001
319 pages

"After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy names Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan —and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years. 
Universally acclaimed upon publication, Life of Pi is a modern classic."
