Helpful Score: 1

Yann Martel understands animals almost as well as he understands people. In his tale a young man is strand at sea after a ship carrying zoo animals sinks. He is eventually alone on his tiny dingy except for a ravenous tiger that may choose to make a meal of him...if he doesn't cause his own demise. This is a powerful story with plenty of obtuse turns to keep even the most jaded reader on the edge of their seat. Be prepared, the tales takes some very unexpected turns.
