Winner of the 2002 Man Booker Prize for Fiction
Pi Patel is an unusual boy. The son of a zookeeper, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior, a fervent love of stories, and practices not only his native Hinduism, but also Christianity and Islam. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.
The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional-but is it more true?
Life of Pi is at once a realistic, rousing adventure and a meta-tale of survival that explores the redemptive power of storytelling and the transformative nature of fiction. It's a story, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God.

nice ending,
評分仍然記得當年坐在德班的電影院裏看電影時候的震撼,一直想讀原文,沒想到時隔幾年纔花瞭3個月把原文看完瞭,所有的事情隻有去做纔有實現的可能,生存也好,閱讀也好,在絕境中堅持,正好現在也碰到瞭大問題,希望能慢慢的和Pi一樣的度過去。感覺可以再讀的一本書。話說李安增加瞭一些原著沒有的情節,加上電影的特技呈現的一些想象,書和電影都很喜歡,各有不同
評分Magical and wildly good.
評分nice ending,
評分隻有在死亡臨近之時,道德纔不會陷入兩難。如果不是先看電影應該會更好呢。
The book had been on my bookshelf for quite some time ,but never seemed inviting enough for reading and I didn't even know what it was about . Because of my recent reading of the Call of the Wild and White Fang , I had this sudden interest in books that h...
評分看这本书是因为看了李安拍的同名电影的预告片。一只孟加拉虎与人生活在同一条船上吸引我。促使我去寻书过来看,因为中文版是2005年的,市面上几乎找不到了,最后终于从可爱的图书馆里找了它,可爱的图书管理员还给它加了塑料皮套。 在这里我要再一次谴责一下那坑...
評分故事开始时是作者虚构自己的第一部小说如何不成功。为重新开始,为与失败的小说有个地理上的了结以便有精神上的了结,作者远赴国外。在国外遇到不少人。听说他是作家,有不少人会讲述自以为很神奇的故事,希望作者也许会感兴趣,日后会将故事写入小说。作者一点都不感兴趣。事...
評分电影里那些飘水花灯、印度舞、暴雨沉船、辽阔海面、飞鱼来袭,浮岛幻影等炫酷镜头透过3D眼镜扑过来让我瞪大眼伸长脖在不舒服的椅子里坐到脊柱炸鞭也不觉着亏,而且故事这么弱,前后也不连贯,迟到半钟头去上个厕所活动活动或者睡一觉起来都不耽误,真是老少妇孺咸宜的漂...
評分"Life of Pi" is just a fun read with quite a few memorable details, but on the whole the author is still immature as a writer in that, he tries too hard to mask the "truth" with gimmicks in story-telling, and he loses sight of the real depth of the truth, a...
