After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. 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. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.
Wonderful, unique book. Great story-telling - definately a book for your bookshelves that you can read over again and get something new from it each time!

This is a dynamite story. I read it years after the hype with the Booker Prize and I have kicked myself ever since that I denied myself this great story for so long.
