Has anyone read this book before?
Life of Pi is the story of an Indian boy name Pi Patel who is shipwrecked on a small boat with a bengal tiger. It's really good. In fact, it's pretty much the only book I've ever read one of my favorite books of all time.

It's a fantastic read... I named my dog after Pi.

I started this book once but then a friend stole my copy but I do hope to read it fully again soon. I really liked what I have read so far.

Personally, I thought the book just got better as it went on, so if you liked the first part, I really suggests you find a copy and finish it. Also, it has been announced that the movie adaption is going to be in 3-D. This comes as a surprise to me, as I thought the film was going to be lost in the depths of developmental hell forever. I'm not excited about 3-D, but if it means the movie will get off the ground, I won't mind too much.

how long of a book is it? i can't say that i have the greatest attention spa... oooh a fly... wait, where was i? oh yeah... i don't read a whole lot, but i've been wanting to start reading books again. i feel as though i'm getting too lazy with my standard reading (for work, etc.).

I don't have a terribly good memory (it's been a few years since I read it), but according to Wikipedia, The Life of Pi is 356 pages. FYI, I also have a relatively short attention span, so let me warn you, the first fourth or so of the book starts out slow, but it gets really good after that.

i'll have to check it out. typically any book i read takes me a while to get into. unless its in a series and i'm familiar with the characters already.
