Life of Pi - First Thoughts

This book truly surprised me and should be considered an instant classic. When I first picked it up I dreaded reading it, because I thought it would be another survival story filled with gruesome images and sad deaths and an eventual rescue. What I found however, was a book packed with philosiphy and clever insights on religeon. It combined these thoughts with a solid story about tigers, some survival, and zookeeping. It made for an astounding read that broadened my world view. A five out of five.
