Title: This book will NOT make you believe in God.
Review: A major disappointment. The story is hyped as something to "make you believe in God." However, in truth the story is shallow and dull. The charactors are cardboard. The elegent storytelling fails to make the reader feel Pi's loss when the ship goes down, or his terror or pain as awaited rescue never comes. The "surprise ending" was a major disappointment, the alternative story line even more fantastic then the original. Ultimately the book gives you the impression of a shallow writer attempting to write a "deep" story and woefully failing in the task.
