Query: Interesting Enough to Finish Reading

I thought this book was boring. I understand the necessity of giving the reader some background on the main character, but this case may have been a little excessive. I kept reading because I thought if Pi reached the water things would pick up. Once in the ocean, the story was only interesting enough that I was able to finish the book.***SPOILER ALERT***I like those Nature programs on PBS and I found the way the author had the animals behave on the lifeboat very interesting.The island that Pi and Richard Parker came upon was also a highlight.The end was a little twisted. Pi gives an alternate version of what happened in his lifeboat. The author may have been trying to be thought provoking, but I ended up being disappointed. I felt like I forced myself to read through the entire book and the story might have actually been made up.
