This is a story of survival, faith and human nature. The story begins with a boy's tragic and fantastic story of surviving a sinking ship, losing his family and drifting on a life boat for almost a year with wild dangerous animals. Eventually Pi is left with only a ferocious Bengal tiger for company and manages to tame him and co-exist. At the end of the book another version of the story is revealed and the reader realizes that Pi was never in a life boat full of animals. He was with other human survivors. This realization makes you realize that sometimes human nature and the will to survive can be a dangerous and ugly thing. Pi faces a battle between his own animalistic desire to survive and his faith that God will provide and save him. Pi tamed the tiger. I wish the author would have wrote the story from the perspective of Pi as a young boy, instead of writing it from the perspective of Pi as an adult looking back. I feel like it would have made the entire experience more impactful. Gread read.
