This is an unusual book. The strength of Pi and the unusual circumstances of his journey are very interesting, sometimes riveting and sometimes need to move along faster.

I know this book was required reading for middle school students here in at least one school. Because of the mixed up spiritual outlook of the main character, it would not be my option for that age reader.

The book is a book about endurance, a lesson on the importance of close observation, and the strength of the human spirit.
