This book describes every small thing Pi does on a day today basis in incredible detail so that if they had given me a description of everyday of that whole journey I would still be asking for more. The internal monologue of despair, hope, and determination set against the background of the desolate yet brimming with life ocean and a endearing portrayal of love for the thing that could kill you. This book stunned me. The long drawn out story contrasting with the fast emotionless telling of the ending made me stare at the ceiling for hours before I could fall asleep. 

I will say make sure you read the content warnings before reading this book as it contains quite graphic descriptions.

Very good, I just wish it didn’t take half of the book to actually get into the plot but after that it was great. I enjoyed the characters and the twist was fun the pacing was just off
