Ok. I am almost done with the book. It took me a really, really long time, but I am extreamly close to being finnished. Pi has gone through some pretty rough stuff. First his whole family dies in the sinking of the ship that he is on. Then he gets stuck on a boat with a carnivorus tiger named Richard Parker. He suffers through exaustion, dehydration, and no food. The danger of a tiger is continuasly lurking just behind him. Thats not all. Sharks are always surrounding him, storms thraeten to bring his life boat underwater, and there seems to be no way out of the vast pacific ocean. He is barely alive for mor than half the book.
I can't imagine being in his shoes. Having to survive on barnicles and the occasional fish. The fresh water only comes when it rains and a dangerous animal threatening to kill and eat you every second. It dosen't sound exactly like my cup of tea. Maybe if I was on an island, but not a small lifeboat like Pi. It is truely a miracle how he survied for so long on a life boat with a 450 lb killer a board too.
