    Has anybody read this book by Yann Martel? I can only recommend it, it's weird, funny and brilliant! It made me laugh so much, but is at the same time sad and thought provoking. Read it!;)

    fantastic and realistic
    unique and interesting

    An amazing book, very well written and just made me smile....Just read self by him too which is a brilliant read as well....If you liked Life of Pi then read Self ....A very nostalgic kinda read until about halfwway through when everything changes

    It was enjoyable enough, but all the way through it I couldn't help thinking "ack, this symbolism is tiring already..." I would have enjoyed it more had I not found it a little predictable. Good concept though.

    I have been wanting to read "Life of Pi" for a while now. It's on my "list"...:D I was going to buy it a couple of months ago (to have it on-hand), but I decided to wait... Can't wait to start it, though!
