Book Review

There were three parts to the Life of Pi and they were all very different from each other. The first section of the book talks about Pi's life before he left home. In this section we get descriptions of the Pondicherry Zoo, which where he spent most of his time during his childhood.  In the second section, Pi describes his journey from when the ship sinks to when he is saved. This section shows the struggles of Pi while stuck on a boat with animals, very little food and a limited water supply. In the third section Pi is being interviewed by two men about his story on the lifeboat. During the third part of the book, Pi tells his story (the story that is vividly described during part two), but the reporters don't believe him. Pi tells them a different, slightly more believable story that is extremely disturbing and sad, which involves no animals like the story he told before. The reader doesn't ever find out which story is true or whether either one is true. The ending leaves you wondering what really happened.
