Quarter 1 SSR Book Review

The 1st quarter book that I read was, "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel, a realistic fiction book that begins with our protagonist Pi Patel. There are 345 pages in the book and about two thirds of book is about Pi surviving on the lifeboat. Pi is a normal Indian boy who looks up to his father, the manager of a zookeeper. Fascinated by animals, Pi examines and studies them to become more knowledgeable of life itself. Forced to move to Canada, Pi's dad sells most of the animals and the zoo, only keeping a few on their long journey. However the travel was short lived as the torrent waves and the mighty storm buffeted the boat. Waking up Pi is confused and scared in the pitch black night, all he could hear was the yelling of men before being thrown onto a lifeboat. A new day, Pi wakes up to the soft breathing of animals, some harmless, others dangerous. But they all have one thing in common. The space on which they lived on. The lifeboat.  There are many things I liked about the book such as the plot, and how the author engages the reader, creates more suspense, and action. I love animals also so this was a book for me personally. Having to learn how to face animals for survival whether you were the prey, or you needed to prey on animals for survival was a interesting twist in the book. Having the character change through out the book engaged me and the many events that happened in the book kept the action and plot interesting. I overall thought the book was amazing a 10/10 would read again.😆👍📖
