Life of Pi
3 journalers for this copy...
Good book - lots of good insights!From the back:
After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan...and a 450 pound Royal Bengal tiger.
The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years.
# 49 on the list "1001 books you must read before you die".

Journal Entry 4 by pulcherrima from Tommerup Stationsby, Fyns Amt Denmark on Monday, October 22, 2007
En rigtig god bog med masser af elementer af magisk realisme.
Pis ophold på verdenshavene er utroligt fængende og underholdende, men samtidig også meget tankevækkende - lige en bog for mig. Pi er generelt en meget spændende person, og jeg synes det er fantastisk at vi får lov til at følge ham i så lang tid inden bogens egentligt interessante omdrejningspunkt kommer i gang. Det giver et meget helstøbt billede af drengen. Specielt er jeg glad for hans forhold til religion.
Slutningen tager i øvrigt en interessant drejning.
Jeg vil se om jeg ikke kan lokke Nils til at læse denne bog - så den forbliver på reserved.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Will bring this book with me for our first meet-up in Århus. Hopefully someone will take this wonderful book home, but if not I'll bring it back home again. Then I'll release it somewhere else where I'm sure it will find a reader able to appreciate this classic novel in English.
Brought home from a BK-meeting yesterday. Looking forward to reading and releasing!
