Summary: excellent quality!!!! great gift!
Comment: I was extremely happy with this product. It was a gift for a teenage child---awesome quality and contents. Received a lot faster than I expected.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great story, mediocre illustrations
Comment: Life of Pi is a deeply wonderful story, but I was very disappointed in these illustrations--the colors are vivid but the illustrations don't add anything to the experience of Pi's story. I was really excited when I saw the fine cover illustration of the tiger, but aside from that one and the illustration of Orange Juice floating atop the bananas, they were lifeless and lacked a spark.

Summary: Not Great, But Holds Your Interest
Comment: I can't say it's the best book I ever read, but it manages to hold your interest. You simply have to see how it ends.

Summary: Life of Pi AKA one of the best books ever!
Comment: By Alex Schnepf
Life of Pi is well worth the money it costs to purchase this book. This book has amazing descriptions of gruesome yet mind-numbing animal fights and also it uses great descriptors when talking about Pi's emotional feelings, physical and inner conflicts.
This riveting adventure for this young, Indian, vegetarian boy, Pi, is told in first person. For the most part in this story, Pi is drifting out on the Pacific Ocean with a couple of visitors aboard his vessel (a good size life boat). Those visitors are a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a bloodthirsty Bengal tiger.
Another thing that brought this book to life were the impeccable illustrations done by Tomaslav Torjanac. They added a great graphic picture to already amazing descriptions by Yann Martel.
All in all, I thought this book was very well written with outstanding descriptions and a real perspective on moral values and life.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Highly Entertaining
Comment: This was something I couldn't wait to read again - excuses for rainy day reading. The book is humerous and gripping, and I didn't want to put it down. Just a wonderful story, made me feel like I knew Piscene "Pi" Patel personally. I look forward to other books by this author.
