Life of Pi - Yann Martel

I enjoyed Life of Pi, it was well written and the story was one of those you can not put it down until you finish the book. I loved the way that Martel used the boy to explore east meets west spiritualism and the way that we shape our own destiny. I never thought that I would find a book about a ship wrecked boy this gripping, especially one featuring so many zoo animals. I don't want to give away the ending but I will say it made me cry.

I admit I goggled for this quote but if you like this quote you will like this book so read it:

“The world isn't just the way it is. It is how we understand it, no? And in understanding something, we bring something to it, no? Doesn't that make life a story?”

Bonus quote:
“If you stumble about believability, what are you living for? Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe?”
