For at least a day, Cosine has had his eye on Pie, his only companion aboard a lonely liferaft. Will he eat Pie, or will he learn something about life, about himself, and about the life of Pie? Find out in no time at all!
This was the first book I had read for myself in a very long time. I realized so many people have already read this book in high school (I definitely didn't) which made the impact that it had on me feel a bit less valuable but f that lol. I REALLY liked this book! I am super into religion not in a sense that I am super religious, but more in a way that I love to learn about it and peoples experiences with it. so this book was sooooo up my alley. If you love religion and religious allegory then this book is for you. Literally wanna get a tiger tattoo because of this book lol. I would love to chat deeper with someone of all of the hidden meanings behind some of the occurrences in this book. so many parts, even the small ones, felt very intentional and meaningful in a broader way than what was on the page. This book took me foreeeeevvvvveeeerrr to finish not because it was bad but because often I get wayy too busy to read (work eat bed repeat)
I never even thought about how a book that could blend philosophy with storytelling in such a unique way. Pi’s deep curiosity about religion and his connection to animals make him an engaging character. The writing is rich and descriptive, which adds depth but feel slow sometimes but that could just be myself not being into books as other readers. However, this buildup makes the story feel meaningful, setting the stage for the survival journey ahead. I believe It’s a book that challenges readers to think about faith perspective and the nature of storytelling itself.
I enjoyed the book for the most part. Don't get me wrong, it was fine, and I liked the last half, but it took a while to pick up, and it felt kind of difficult to get though in the first half
