If you are squeamish and want to avoid gory details and even another gruesome twist right at the end of the story, which wasn’t in the movie, then DO NOT read the book.įirst, let me say that I eagerly rushed out to watch the movie, directed by Ang Lee, and while I can’t say I really enjoyed watching the movie, because as anyone who knows something about the movie (and the book) it was about survival at sea I found the movie evocative and amazing. Please be warned that there are “spoilers” at the end of this review. Here is my very own personal review of the novel written by Yann Martel, “The Life of Pi.” Please do not read, unless you really do want to know what I thought about the book upon reading it. Published in 2007 by Canongate, Edinburgh, it consists of 449 pages. It is signed by both the author and the illustrator and is copy number 1173 of a limited run of 3,000 such books. I have a beautiful slip-cased copy of the book, illustrated by Tomislav Torianic. If you read this book, it will quite likely not leave you un-changed.
