Title: Not impressed
Product review: While my friends raved about this book, I was not impressed. The first section of the book describing Pi's life before the shipwreck was well written and interesting, especailly Pi's search for God. However, I found the description of Pi's existence on the life boat to be boring and tedious. I admit I skipped several paragraphs and at times complete pages.The parts that were interesting were violent. I was disgusted by the author's excrutiating detail of how the zebra suffered before dying. The deaths of the other animals were equally brutal, and I found the cannabilism offensive. The alternative ending was certainly intriguing and creative, but I still read the last page of this novel with a sigh of relief that it was finally over.Having said this, I must admit that I appear to be the only person who feels this way. Several of my friends have read the book and loved it, as did the critics and reader reviewers at Amazon.
