This book haunted me for some time with its meaning. I found it intriguingly full of metaphor and very philosophical. Pi as a young Indian boy in a lifeboat with an assemblage of animals takes on a "noah's ark" feeling, but then ony Pi and the Tiger
are left and the strategy for survival interrupts Pi's fantasy life. I was driven to read this but then by the end, wasn't always sure what it had really been about:)
