One of my favorite books of all time. Even though the middle part is dry and drawn out, it is absolutely necessary. Not light reading, very thought-provoking, but overall a fantastic well-written story with an incredible twist at the end that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about Pi's adventure. Part adventure, part survival epic, part suspense, and part spiritual meditation, this book is one I will keep and read over and over again. Yann Martel is a phenomenal storyteller and I will be reading every story he writes. This book is a must-read.
