Looking forward to starting this one soon .... just finishing my current book and LofP will be next :)


(I got slightly derailed by re-reading all three of the hunger games books. I just couldn't put them down. again. maybe saying 'I swallowed them whole. yet again.' would be more accurate.)
I read the first one at one sitting the night before last and am now trying to show restraint before diving head first into the next one! They are literary pringles :-)

Yay! Welcome to our little book club - so glad you enjoyed Life of Pi.

I haven't read this yet, but I do have it. Do we think it is appropriate for an 11 year old to read?
I think there is a part quite near the beginning which is a bit violent. Anyone else remember parts for possible censorship? :)
I love the way it keeps going off at a tangent to talk about different ideas, be they philosophical, psychological or religious. Normally this might irritate me as I'd be wanting to get back to the story but here it feels right. It's a book to take your time with. However, things get much more exciting about 1/3 of the way through, and that's when I didn't want to put it down.
Who else is loving Life of Pi?
