I mean I’m glad I read it. As another reviewer said it was like an info dump, an absolute overload of information. The plot moved along slowly that I really had to force myself to read.

I like the discussion about religion and his journey with finding what pathway works for him. After a while, I felt sea sick of the drag of the story. I like how the ending has us re-evaluate the animals in the story and whether they were actually animals or "turned into" animals due to his trauma. I read the ebook along side the audiobook and enjoyed the illustrations in the book.

This book is the best I’ve read in a long time. I love this survival type of book and how it gave us such a loveable main character

Spoiler

the end of this book is a work of art and I loved it. It made me rethink so many things and it’s made the book very memorable. I still can’t decide what I really believe happened. The author gave us a story that seems like it should be straightforward and he turned it into something complex that makes you really dig deep. What do I believe happened? What would I do if I was Pi? How reliable is Pi as a storyteller?

. So , yes, the book is as great as people say it is and it is 100% worth reading!
