I am reading "Life of Pi" in anticipation of seeing the movie later this week. Has anyone here read the book? I am a little beyond the midway point and should finish it this evening. I had heard that the book glorified (or at least promoted) Islam, but I have not gotten that message from the book. Neither have I gotten the feeling that Hinduism has been promoted, or Christianity for that matter. IMO, none of the religions have been elevated above the others. It is actually not a book about religion, it is just a beautiful story of the faith and fortitude of a sixteen year old Indian boy and his struggle for survival against all odds. If it is on your reading list, move it to the top. I think you won't be sorry.

One caution; Pi's description of his survival at sea is quite graphic. The very squeamish will need to skim some parts, I'm sure.

Here is the trailer for the movie. It made me cry and I am not sure why. I am sure I will cry through the whole movie!

Thanks for the review, Lori. I’m sure this will be a good movie and I hope I can get the chance to see it. It is at the theatre, isn’t it? I don’t get to the movies too often but you have made this one very tempting (even with the tears). I like something that is recommended highly. Thanks for informing us!! Haven’t laid down yet but am getting ready to. Its so good to have you here, Lori! Reminds me of the good old days!
