Life of Pi - Yann Martel

While reading this book, several people told me what a good book it was. Even People who didn't know me. I fully agree.

"Life of Pi" was winner of the Man Booker Prize for 2002, and winner of the Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction, as well as being shortlisted for the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction.

On it's surface, this book is a delightful and entertaining tale. But much like the ocean much of this book takes place on, there is immeasurable depth as well.

This is a story of a young shipwrecked boy, and his unlikely companions as they bob in the sea in a lifeboat. Danger looms both from the sea, and from within the lifeboat. Martel's writing is fresh and often funny, and most of all, very entertaining.

A great read.
