Alicia reviewed Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Better than the movie
4 stars
I read this a long time ago because a friend suggested it, but I remember enjoying it. (Definitely more than I did the movie)

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.
