    "A Wonderful Book"

    A story unlike any other. The survival struggles of a spiratually oriented, inventive, strong-willed teen-age boy in a lifeboat--in a situation truly more bizarre than can be imagined.
    Beautifully written from the boy's point-of-view. Contains lessons for us all in the nature of the human spirit, and perhaps the very nature of God as well.

    "fabulous"

    This is one of the best books I have ever read. The narrator really helps make the story come alive. The story can be appreciated on so many different levels. You never know what is going to happen next.

    "Annoying accent"

    This story starts incredibly slowly. The narrator attempts an incredibly annoying Indian accent. I don't know that I'll be able to get all the way through it. Make sure you preview it before you buy it!

    "I like Pi"

    This a wondeful story, perfectly narrated. If you love learning new perspectives on religion, aninmals and the essence of humans, then this book will not disappoint, but delight. Please read and enjoy, as I did.

    Story
    "A Yarn for All Ages"

    This fascinating piece of fiction combines the depth and symbolism of "Moby Dick", the wisdom and painstaiking detail of "Robinson Crusoe", the wit of Jonathan Swift with a thoroughly contemporary flavor and a plethora of vivid contrasts. I enjoyed it immensely.

    "great character"

    Pi Patel is the kind of guy you'd like to have as a friend. Perfect blend of humor, intelligence, reason and spirituality. 11+ hours goes fast, and the listener is left with a lot to ponder. Some parts are very funny, some sad.

    Story
    "Life of Pi"

    This is a very enjoyable book. One of my favorite books is "Crime and Punishment". If you like that level of detail, this book is for you. I have been trying without success to locate information on the algae island in the Pacific. Can anyone help?

    "Fantastic story and narrator puts you on the scene"

    To begin with, the story is fantastic. Many people who have read the actual book concur. In addition, the narrator does such a good job, you believe that you are there in the story.
