One boy, one boat, one tiger . . .

After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan — and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.

Review

‘Every page offers something of tension, humanity, surprise, or even ecstasy’ — The Times

‘A terrific book… fresh, original, smart, devious, and crammed with absorbing lore’ — Margaret Atwood Sunday Times

‘A unique and original story, brilliantly told’ — Guardian

‘Full of clever tricks, amusing asides and grand originality’ — Daily Telegraph

‘Ultimately uplifting’ — Daily Mail

‘Extraordinary… Life of Pi could renew your faith in the ability of novelists to invest even the most outrageous scenario with plausible life’ — New York Times Book Review

‘Martel’s engaging characterization and vivid description enliven and enrich this dreamy, fantastic tale’ — The Times

‘Its appeal has endured, with a worldwide ‘readalong’ of the book next month and a moniker as a ‘modern classic’ to boot. The moniker, in this instance, is utterly deserved … Pi is bewitching, the tale both nihilistic and naive, philosophical and playful, deeply moving while always treading the line clear of schmalz’ — Arifa Akbar Independent

‘Martel has a warm way of engaging with the reader’ — Robert Burdock RobAroundBooks.com
