Book Overview

Yann Martel's Life of Pi is a transformative novel, an astonishing work of imagination that will delight and stun readers in equal measure. It is a triumph of storytelling and a tale that will, as one character puts it, make you believe in God. After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wide, wild Pacific. The crew of the surviving vessel consists of a hyena, one zebra (with broken leg), an orang-utan, a 450-pound Royal Bengal Tiger named Richard Parker and Pi - a 16-year-old Indian boy. As the 'crew' begin to assert their natural places in the food chain, Pi's fear mounts, and he must use all his wit and daring to develop an understanding with Richard the tiger. Life of Pi takes the reader on an extraordinary journey - geographical, spiritual and emotional. A rare thing, here is a novel that will change your view of the world.

Review

'Every page offers something of tension, humanity, surprise, or even ecstasy' -- The Times

'A terrific book... fresh, original, smart, devious, and crammed with absorbing lore' -- Margaret Atwood Sunday Times

'A unique and original story, brilliantly told' -- Guardian

'Full of clever tricks, amusing asides and grand originality' -- Daily Telegraph

'Ultimately uplifting' -- Daily Mail

'Extraordinary... Life of Pi could renew your faith in the ability of novelists to invest even the most outrageous scenario with plausible life' -- New York Times Book Review

'Martel's engaging characterization and vivid description enliven and enrich this dreamy, fantastic tale' -- The Times

'Its appeal has endured, with a worldwide 'readalong' of the book next month and a moniker as a 'modern classic' to boot. The moniker, in this instance, is utterly deserved ... Pi is bewitching, the tale both nihilistic and naive, philosophical and playful, deeply moving while always treading the line clear of schmalz' -- Arifa Akbar Independent

'Martel has a warm way of engaging with the reader' -- Robert Burdock RobAroundBooks.com
