Title: Pining for understanding
Review: I surely hope that the sales of worthy reads are not predicated - in any way - by reviews that are so transparently daft. Wasn't the point being made that in an age of empiricism and dogged adherence to reason, the idea of God was (like Pi's ordeal) unlikely, to say the least? Wasn't it also FAIRLY obvious that to most whose religion is science and the evidence of one's eyes the only witness to truth, God could not exist nor could Pi have lived aboard a lifeboat with a tiger and other tasty animals? Wasn't the author defying reason and testifying to the truth of things unseen? It seemed like it to me. Maybe the catholicism of Pi's faith unsettled some. Maybe it wasn't dogged, intolerant and evangelical enough. Maybe I missed the point of this gentle (yeah, I get the irony) narrative.
