Life of Pi

an engaging book i must admit, although it took me a year to properly start. okay so this post may seem irrelevant to you out there who may not have read the book but i'll post this anyway.

Seemingly the book wanders at the start, captivating in areas where the writing does make you think; but once finishing the book, it leaves the reader with a feel of uncertainty with the truth of the story.
It is hard to read this book and not assume that the story full of murder and cannibalism finally told by Pi is the actual reality of what occurred. But he chooses to tell a story with animals one which offers some beauty and hope, in opposition to one which offers pain, suffering and despair; it may be just this choice of story which represents an individual's view on the world, whether to choose the story of religion which offers some beauty in opposition to not.
or something.

It is mentioned that this story "would make you believe in god", personally i'm not quite sure if it has accomplished exactly that.
Let's jus say this: Life of Pi is not your typical book.
