Query: The Life of Pi - Disappointing.

Disappointing. Most of the other reviewers who characterize it in one-star terms, have described it well, in my view. It starts to be a novel about an Indian boy whose family migrates to Canada. He is investigating various religions and his developing adolescent thoughts are fairly engaging. Close the book there, and you will be satisfied. The rest is turgid. You must slog through an allegory where he is marooned in a lifeboat with a tiger being transported to Canada to a zoo. Sound good? OK, well read it then. I thought the whole book was fair, until then. But once that narrative started...well, it went downhill, and fast. I could read no more and discarded it.
