Starting out, reading the book, I figured it would be like all the books we read in highschool and in this class, just another one to get through. I read the first 10 chapters and realized this wasn't like the other books we have read. It holds a feeling that makes you want to keep reading. I haven't figured out if it is a good book or not yet, but from the first couple of chapters, I find it to have a different outlook than other books.
Now when I heard this was about a boy and a tiger...stuck on a boat....I found myself wondering how it would make for a good read and how in the heck could this happen. But it's fiction, who cares how.
Starting off, you read about Pi's background and his struggles. How his story differs from anyone elses, tremendously. One of the things I like most about the beginning was when he talked about the zoo and how he grew up there. Pi learned about freedom, nature habbits, and his own personal beliefs. I thought this was a really neat way for the author to develop the characters for us.
Some parts were confusing, although, because of the context and how the author puts it. It's hard to describe and hopefully I can find out how to describe it as I keep reading. I do like, how he uses the zoo to point out his life. How it is a place where animals say "stay out". He mentions that all the animals are content and can socialize with them. I like this part.
I know many other events will come in this book and I can't wait to read them. I enjoy reading fiction and hopefully this will go on my books to recommend list.
