EXCELLENT! - I picked this up on a whim, knowing nothing about it - and couldn t put it down! finished it in 24hrs and I need to read it again. this is a book that just took me to a place that no other literary work has done. Totally unique, haunting survival tale that will leave you wishing you could read it for the first time over and over again. This is a story you will want to share with others.
Great book, very clever - I just finished reading the book Life of Pi. I had to read it for school. To tell you the truth, some parts are good but some are long and may get boring at a certain point, but the end is worth it. It s such a smart and unusual novel. Martel s words and descriptions are beautiful and may sometimes seem long but it s so well written and detailed that it makes the reader feel what the character is seeing or experiencing. It s an amazing book really. The end is was so unexpected to me.
Loved the last page - A friend recommended this book to me and advised that the first 50 pages were slow. I found the first 400 pages to be slow and the only reason I finished it was because of my friend. I loved the ending.
Okay read - While one of the excerpts read ?a novel of such rare and wondrous storytelling that it may, as one character claims, make you believe in God,? failed to deliver the other one which read ?A story so magical, so playful, so harrowing and astonishing that it will may you believe imagination might be the fist step? did. The book has left such a lingering taste in my mind that I have been unable to pick up any other fiction book because something unexplainable is still left to digest.
Incredible story - The sheer number of views posted on this title and the publicity it has generated tells a lot about what should be expected from the story. It is catching. This with THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES is one of the best works of fiction that my eyes have roved through and which my mind has appreciated. I like Martel s poetic style of writing, his plot and the vivid descriptions he gave of things , characters and events results the story, which is similar to the style in DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE. I was so caught up by the book that I was unable to put it down until the last page. In the end, I saw The Life of Pi become so popular. Any reader who knows a good story may think he/or she is starting this book at a stroll but would be surprised to end it at a compelling rush. Like THE USURPER AND OTHERS, and THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN, the story is completely captivating, fast-paced, thrilling, inspiring, shocking and hilarious. I smiled, sighed, laughed and even wiped a tear while reading this book.
