Life of Pi by Yann MartelMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I didn't really know what to expect from this book, and I ended up really liking it. I think what I noticed and appreciated most was that it didn't remind me of anything else. Martel's writing style and story are completely unique, and I found myself wanting to read the story slowly so I could really soak it all in. I'd definitely recommend this book.

One of my favorites!
I really liked this one as well! Definitely unlike any other book I've read.
I love that you guys read and discuss.
I was surprised how much I liked this book, but I really did.
Good one Josh.
I'm glad I finished this one, but I almost didn't. The philosophical ramblings in the beginning were interesting but not particularly compelling. I think great writing should be a balance of beautiful language, authentic characters, complex ideas and story. The beginning of this book had the first three, but not the later. If I hadn't spent a lot of time waiting in airports during the first half of the book, I might not have finished it.
Maybe I'm just a lazy reader.
