Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The author says it is a story to make you believe in God. It is the tale of a boy trapped on a lifeboat in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean. The boy, sixteen-year-old Pi, is the son of a zookeeper, and a teen who practices the Hindu, Muslim, and Christian religions. His family is traveling from India to their new home in Canada when the cargo ship they are aboard sinks. Pi finds himself the sole human survivor in the company of a Bengal tiger, a hyena, an orangutan, and a wounded zebra. Soon it is only Pi and the tiger.

Would you be able to spend 227 days alone in the Pacific with a huge carnivorous tiger and live to tell the tale? This is a journey of survival and spiritual meaning. This is the Life of Pi.
