Winner of the Man Booker Prize

One boy. One boat. One tiger.

After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a 16-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orangutan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years.

Critic reviews

"Yann Martel's Life of Pi (Canongate) is another reminder of the largely unsung excellence of the Canongate list. The fiercely independent Scottish outfit remains an outpost of rare quality and distinction, and this exceptional understated novel is certainly a worthy addition to its output.... It would not be out of place on a Booker shortlist." ( The Bookseller)
"In the end, Life of Pi may not, as its teller promises, persuade readers to believe in God, but it makes a fine argument for the divinity of good art." [Noel Rieder, The Gazette (Montreal)]
" Life of Pi...is about many things - religion, zoology, fear - but most of all, it's about sheer tenacity. Martel has created a funny, wise and highly original look at what it means to be human." ( Chatelaine)

The overall performance of the narrator is superb. Very engaging, full of humour. I enjoyed Pi’s innocent perspective of world religions and the strange but close relationship with Richard Parker during his survival. Enjoyed listening during a long run and will recommend to others for fun reading.
