I'm with the other commenter- I took the book at face value and loved the name of the tiger.lizbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284632674677435308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-68471738395355805982011-07-17T14:40:40.632-07:002011-07-17T14:40:40.632-07:00This is a great book, it was assigned to me the su...This is a great book, it was assigned to me the summer before my senior year of HS and I was delighted (the year before we'd had to read Walden which isn't much my taste).<br /><br />I thought it wasn't too pushy, I'm not religious in any way, I'm atheist, but I'm very spiritual and I ultimately thought this book had a fair take on religion. It's faithful to itself.Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427349460894077366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-15439337103482958372011-07-16T09:45:19.172-07:002011-07-16T09:45:19.172-07:00Since he Yann is a Canadian author - we heard abou...Since he Yann is a Canadian author - we heard about this book all the time!!<br /><br />I liked - I also read it at face value :) This is the most sane of his books - read "Self" it's pretty f*$ed upJessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320222936310231134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-58438111401376905712011-07-15T22:56:30.426-07:002011-07-15T22:56:30.426-07:00I remember reading this book in college. What I r...I remember reading this book in college. What I remember most was the imagery - the vividness of the characters, the fantastic situation. I remember being carried along by the story itself, not feeling the need to understand anything more than the story being told - it read like a kind of existential boy's adventure book. Robert Louis Stevenson on acid. And I loved naming the tiger Richard Parker. Life of Pi was weird, it was colorful, and though it was a long time ago, I remember really enjoying it. It will be interesting to see what other people think!Erin Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928435788079060676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-82143810012656460812011-07-15T22:34:59.099-07:002011-07-15T22:34:59.099-07:00in my best Blanche Devereaux voice: "GAWD; it...in my best Blanche Devereaux voice: "GAWD; it was TERRIBLE!" xo<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqCg1cgEpVQ&feature=relateddiandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327713236743857973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-77630374827673852222011-07-15T22:03:07.269-07:002011-07-15T22:03:07.269-07:00I haven't read the book, but it doesn't re...I haven't read the book, but it doesn't really catch my attention, either to be honest. <br />I do love how honest you are and how you write - definitely wish I had your writing style! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-21791402764242800572011-07-15T21:08:10.116-07:002011-07-15T21:08:10.116-07:00i tried reading it recently for the same reasons, ...i tried reading it recently for the same reasons, i saw it on lots of top reads lists, then i saw it had something to do with a zoo so i thought i would give it a try. I gave up about 100 pages in. I just didn't connect with it at all and it felt like a chore sitting down to read it. i've made it a point not to slog through something just because i feel like i should, because it is supposed to be amazing, if i don't enjoy it i put it down.Rae - Say It Aint Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066975427295830641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625742.post-78236356295452032512011-07-15T20:43:49.255-07:002011-07-15T20:43:49.255-07:00A friend once told me this book changed her life. ...A friend once told me this book changed her life. I read it one depressing summer, hoping to improve my life. In the end, all I wanted to do was get back the precious hours I spent reading.
