Life of Pi

I officially read Life of Pi in 2 days. I don't think it was that long of a book, if I remember correctly looking at it in Barnes and Noble, but a Kindle doesn't measure length in pages.

In general the story was quite intriguing, although the first half was a bit tedious at times. Actually there were many instances of tediousness. But every instant was important to the story. And then it got really gruesome. Seriously, if you want to read this book, go with that warning in mind. It will graphically describe predators turning on each other. While also examining survival instinct and necessity, and the presence of God.

And then the ending. And you question everything. And you think you get it. And you go to Sparknotes and read every analysis for every chapter and question everything some more. And then you realize you didn't get it, and maybe get it now. And then you feel very glad to have read it. And thankful to Sparknotes.
