Life of Pi – Yann Martel

After a cargo ship sinks in the Pacific Ocean, sixteen-year-old Pi Patel is stranded on a lifeboat with an extraordinary companion: a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.

As days become months, Pi must rely on faith, intelligence, courage, and sheer will to survive. Blending adventure, philosophy, spirituality, and storytelling, Life of Pi is an unforgettable exploration of survival, imagination, and the slippery nature of truth.

Rated approximately 3.95/5 on Goodreads. Readers praise its originality, philosophical depth, and the memorable bond between Pi and Richard Parker. Some find its allegorical and philosophical passages challenging, but many consider them deeply rewarding.
