Query: Give me a break

Maybe it's because I have a religious studies degree and have studied Indian history that I won't wax lyrically about this book. "Life of PI" didn't help me find God, quite the contrary, I found it had little to do with the mystery and magic of the otherworldly. What I did find was a writer who relished in describing how one animal rips apart another. Don't believe the people who tell you this is a kind of fable for the whole family. Unless you enjoy the Fight for Life kind of documentaries where animals hunt down another and then we get closeups of their rolling eyes and spurting blood, you'll best avoid this book with a body count.If you like stories about castaways, rent the Tom Hanks film. Don't get all starry eyed because a book is set in an exotic landscape and deals with "foreign" ideas. It had some interesting ideas but other than that was a real grisly waste of time.
