Title: A Literary Adventure
Review: Written by Yann Martel, this novel is about a young Indian boy who is traveling with his family to Canada. Pi's father is a zookeeper and along for the ride are a number of animals that he is selling to various zoos in North America to provide revenue to start the new life. The story builds when the ship goes down in a storm, and Pi finds himself on a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena, and a tiger named Richard Parker. After the first three days, natural selection cuts the little boat's crew to two---the smartest (Pi) and the strongest (RP). Pi survives the rest of his journey with the big cat, and Martel is such a brilliant writer that you do not doubt for a minute that any of this is taking place. The literary nature of the story, combined with the tension of Pi's adventure, and one wicked twist of an ending make this novel one of my recent favorites.
