From the Amazon product description: The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes. The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger.Oh my this one has been sitting in draft status for over a month. Let's see if I can remember what I thought! Part of me thought, "This is pretty cool!". Part of me thought, "What's the big deal?". The story reminded me quite a bit of My Father's Dragon except that with the Dragon story, I was mesmerized. I loved it and became enraptured of the fantasy world. I was less enthused about Life of Pi but still very interested. Maybe the first time you read a book in a certain style, it spoils you for all the other first times? I had a friend say that making it through the book was worth it for the last few pages. Now that I have done it, I'd have to agree. I enjoyed the story but then the ending that made you go, "hmmmmm", made it even better for me!

I was just the opposite! I liked the story until the end and then I was like, "What the heck?"
This is one of my all time favorite books, if for no other reason that it created quite a "bru-ha-ha" at our book group!! To this day, our members still talk about it -- either positively or negatively, depending on their point of view!
