One of my favs
Had me convinced right to the end.
Entertaining, but also extremely thought-provoking – an unforgettable tale
thought provoking
The characters are wonderfully developed and I just love how this story I laid out.
I ‘read’ this book on audio.

I love books that make me think and reflect, as …
Both book and movie are splendid!

An amazing accomplishment…the story stays with you long after finishing reading

Don’t miss your chance to travel with Pi
I didn’t love this book like so many others did.
Fun to read. You won’t want to put it down. Very clever!!!
