The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a female orang-utan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. Since it was first published in 2002, "Life of Pi" has entered mainstream consciousness and remains one of the most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years. In October 2005 Canongate launched a competition with "The Times" to find an artist to illustrate Yann Martel's international bestseller. Soon the competition expanded as the "Globe" and "Mail" and "The Age" newspapers also launched a search in Canada and Australia. From thousands of entries, Croatian artist Tomislav Torjanac was chosen as the illustrator for this new edition of "Life of Pi". Now readers can enjoy this extraordinary tale with his glorious colour illustrations.Hide synopsis

The youngster whose tale is told in this book was already a fascinating person before he found himself adrift in a lifeboat in the Pacific with no one but a quartet of zoo animals, including a 450-pound Bengal tiger. I was so impressed, I bought an extra copy to lend to friends.

The book was in awesome shape. the shipping did not take long at all. My son needed this book for a summer reading project for school. Worked out very well.

Some parts of the book are believeable and others preposterous, such as meerkats up a tree on an algal island when they are desert dwellers of burrows. I did not find God as the author suggested. There are some very good descriptive passages but all told I did not really enjoy the book.

I'm still not sure if I liked this book or not. I will say that it was hard to put down, simply because it was so bizarre that I wanted to see what would happen next.
