A very unusual story. I am still unsure whether I like it or not. Deep in some places and in others graphic description of desperate survival measures such as cannibalism. Well written and humorous at times, but if you like action packed novels, you will find it too slow. Pi Patel is an interesting and highly intelligent character.
