Life of Pi by Yann Martel reveiwed by Timothy Zaragoza

Life of Pi is a very interesting book by Yann Martel with a lot of twist and turns along the plot which mean unexpected things that happen to Piscine Patel (Pi for short) the main character in the story. For example one unexpected thing that had happened to Pi is that he became friends with a Bengal tiger that Pi named, Richard Parker. Pi is was just a teenager when he was stranded on a life with a Bengal tiger, and that would only be the least of his problems. Yann Martel was born in Spain in 1963 bot of his parents were Canadian and Life of Pi is basically Pi trying to reach Canada which is what Yann Matel wanted to do.
There are also very interesting characters like Richard Parker the tiger. Richard Parker’s interests are sleeping most of the time and when he is not sleeping he is usually eating or rarely hunting. Pi is probably the almost the exact opposite of Richard Parker, Pi worries a lot about being saved and Richard Parker likes to enjoy his time, and Pi is also very religious. That is only two of the characters from The Life of Pi.
Life of Pi also has very cool and interesting settings, like the main setting which is Pi and Richard Parker on a life boat drifting with the ocean currents hoping to find land, what is interesting about this setting is that Pi is alone on a life boat with Richard Parker who is a Bengal tiger and those tigers are very dangerous. The cool setting is in Pi’s Dad zoo which is in Pondicherry where there are all sorts of animal and that where Pi met the Bengal tiger who would become Richard Parker his closest friend.
Some of the themes from Life of Pi would probably be religion because Pi went to a lot of churches, temples searching for what religion he believed, some of the few religions he went to see if they had the right answer he was looking for was a catholic church where the people there were nice to him, the other one he was told by an atheist who said religion is nothing but darkness which is because that’s a lot different from what I’m told. The other religion was one that he was born into which was Hinduism, and that’s what Pi’s parents taught him. The other theme I think was being acknowledged or accepted because his family loved but Pi some how felt empty, so I think that is why he went out looking for different religions and the only who probably accepted is Richard Parker which I what I think.
Overall I think Life of Pi was a pretty good book because it has one of my favorite genre which is adventures o if you are probably looking for a adventure book I would suggest The Life of Pi. Another good thing I liked about The Life of Pi was challenging because someone would talk about Pi’s future in the book what I didn’t like was the ending because I didn’t have my entire question about the book answered in the end. So I would give this book an eight out of ten.
