| Accidents by Yael Hedaya, 453 pages Jonathan Misirian 17 April 2006 Hedaya’s first novel. A widower writer with precocious daughter falls in love with another writer, whose father dies. Set in modern Jerusalem, translated into English. | Life of Pi by Yann Martel, 326 pages Mike Gadd 14 November 2003 Top 10 all time. What a wonderful story. My only complaint was that it was too short. Even better when you don't read the back jacket beforehand. |
The Life of Pi by Yann Martel, 326 pages James Donahue 22 December 2004 Just when you thought every plot had been done, along comes a book about a shipwrecked religious wunderkind and his pet tiger. An amazing read; literally could not put the book down, but am very unsure of its meaning. Suggestions? |
Life of Pi by Yann Martel, 336 pages Steve Gadd 29 January 2007 I had the rare pleasure of diving into this book without knowing anything about it, without even glancing at the back cover, though the front cover art was a bit of a spoiler. While survivor stories are among my favorites, the fact that this one was fictional made it less compelling, the magical bits coming off more as implausible than dreamily fantastic. |
