Shannan's Review of "Life of Pi"

I just finished this book this morning. Erin and I were talking about it and I was commenting on how slow the beginning was. But once I got past that, I really enjoyed this book. The beginning talks about how this book will make you believe in God, but I never really got that. At first, he talks a lot about his family and the zoo that his father takes care of in India. He also talks about how he believes in Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddism. I thought that would be a theme throughout the book, but I didn't really find that at all, which I am thinking I must have not thought about it too deeply, or I would have seen religion in his experience. That experience, which I don't want to give away, is really what the book is about, and quite amazing to read. I really did enjoy the rest, once I got past part one. I would give this book 3 and 1/2 stars.
