Not hostility or anything, but maybe you should read deeper. Life of Pi is one of those books that can be read and enjoyed lightly, but not everything is laid out for you in plain language. You have to think a little.kloudsurfer said:I was an very enjoyable book, well written with good imagery, but it seemed there was nothing more to it. Personally I thought it was overrated.
I am definetly not one to take books at face value. I saw the 'deeper meanings' and everything, I just honestly didnt think it was THAT great.Heliotrope said:I love this book. I have entire passages saved from it. I should really just buy it. I will when I get the money.

In a nutshell the book says that it is nicer to believe that there is a God, because it gives us purpose instead of believing that there is no god and that the universe and everything in it was an accident.mitch_f1 said:Can someone help me to clarify the religious element to the book. I tried to explain it to a friend, but couldn't decipher it from my head.
