What a wonderful read! I laughed. I grimaced. I cheered. I cried. And, when it was all over I found I enjoyed this read so very much. My recommendation to others is simply this: "If you haven't read it do so soon". Imagine if you can existing in the Pacific Ocean for 227 days with a Bengal tiger. And, of course the trip starts with your ship sinking and you being tossed into a lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and the tiger. The experiences Pi has have you laughing and sharing with others the outrageous incidents he reports. And you are just 16 years old. Fun, fun, fun read!
