Yann Martel, Life of Pi

I will be really short. This is the only Yann Martel’s book that I red. Yann Martel is a Canadian writer. The Life of Pi is really amazing. Even more amazingly, it won a Man Booker Prize in 2002! In my view, it really deserved it. Even if they made a film out of it (not released yet, not interested in viewing it) it is a really good novel. The story is vivant despite the lack of variation of the environment. It grows fast in the beginning then it gives the impression that the author lost himself too much into details, particularly when describing zoo gardens and animal habits. However, almost all details come in handy later on in the book. So, if you want more action, after the first hundred pages you will get it. You just need to be patient! If you want epic poetry, it is plenty all over the novel. If you prefer philosophical questions, take a spoiler here: “ I don’t see why I can’t be all three. Mamaji has two passports. He’s Indian and French. Why can’t I be a Hindu, a Christian
