Life of Pi by Yann Martel (Summary)

Over winter break I got the movie "Life of Pi". I really enjoyed this movie and discovered that its based on a book. I decided to try and find a copy of the book and to read it, because I enjoyed the story. I found a copy of "Life of Pi" and began reading it. It starts oout when a small indian boy is born and a family friend teaches him how to swim at a very young age. Then, Pi's father gets a job running a zoo in india.

So far I really enjoy this book. I already know the story, and that interests me, but I also find the author's writing style very unique. The author develops the story very well and uses excelent vocabulary. The way that the book is introduced is very different compared to other books I've read. the author starts off with Pi telling his story about college and Canada and he says somthing about ending up in a hospital in Mexico. He also mentions someone named Richard Parker. Pi doesnt explain who Richard Parker is, why he's in the hospital, or even many details about his college life. He then goes into his childhood and starts telling about his life as a boy.

Thats as far as I've gotten in this book, I can't wait to see how the author explains the great trials that Pi goes through and how he comes out of them.
