Ahh Pi is finally saved! I loved the ending of the book; it really makes the reader think. I know it made me kind of question which story Pi told to the Japanese men was really true, the one with or without the animals. I definitely believe the one with the animals. I felt bad Pi was questioned so on his incredible journey; I wish people would have just accepted it and admire him for his survival through the most extreme circumstances.
I have questions about the island he found. How the heck was it so dangerous? Why couldn't he just keep living each day the same way on it? Granted, he eventually found real land by getting back on the lifeboat, but still, if he knew how to avoid the dangers of it, then couldn't he just keep on living there with an endless supply of food and water? The meercats could do it! And Richard Parker sure didn't seem to mind that much. The teeth would have freaked me out a little too, but I don't know if I would have the courage to face the Pacific Ocean again.
I felt sooo bad that Richard Parker left Pi as soon as they made it to Mexico! I wanted to cry with Pi after all they went through together. Poor Pi ended up loosing every part of his family. What surprised me was that he still wanted to move to Canada, even though his family wasn't going to be there with him because India would have brought back too many "sad memories". I felt so bad for the poor boy :( I also found it extremely interesting that Pi kept hanging on to as much food as possibly at the end of the book. He was obviously scared for his life that he would get about-to-die-hungry again.
I really like the Life of Pi. It truly was one of my favorite books that I've ever read. Great choice Mrs. Leffler! :)
