By far my favorite assigned reading from high school! I was not expecting to enjoy this story so much. I know some people do not like this book and if I went back and read it as an adult I may understand why, but I refuse to do so! The ending was great for young-adult me and I will not say more for fear of spoiling it for others!

The beginning of this book was incredibly slow. There was so much extra information that I didn’t need but it just went on and on. I enjoyed about 1 chapter from the beginning when it was talking about the differences in three of the world’s major religions. But then it just kept going on with the same topic for what felt like forever. When it got into the main part of the story, where Pi is in the sinking ship, it starts to get good. From then it feels fast paced and exciting, but after the lion has finished eating the hyena it goes back to being slow again. Like I get it Pi your fishing, I’ve heard enough. In the last 100 pages it gets really good. It is super disturbing and far more interesting. I think it’s because a large part of the book is set in the same place that it becomes boring to me, so the change of scenery into the carnivorous island I found very enjoyable. To sum up, I hated half of the book; I loved half of the book. Worth the read but only if you have a lot of free time.
