I was raised in the South - white - and find this a fascinating concept. Enjoyed the book - our book club read it. Warm but not syrupy. Uplifting. Has some tension that ends satisfactorily. Interesting tid-bits about bees also. Find I keep writing the next book in the series in my mind. Guess I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

I had no idea this book was going to grab me the way it did. It was there waiting and waiting for me to pick it up and when I finally did ~ I could not put it down!

Price: $19.40
Customer Review:
If I could find a couple words to describe this novel, they would be the words "philosophical", "deep", or "exciting". The main reason for this is the point of view. Pi, the main character, is a practicing Hindu, Christian, AND Muslim ALL AT THE SAME TIME. So when faced with a life or death... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book actually beat out The Jungle by Upton Sinclair as the most depressing book I've ever read. Although both stories contain equal amounts of death, disfigurements and hopelessness, this one does a better job of painting the characters as real people, and allows the reader to better identify... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $18.37
Customer Review:
I finally had the courage to pick this book up. I was sure that 22 years after leaving Iran, I would have the brave soul to keep my distance and not get overly emotional reading what has become nearly a classic. At first, I was not at all impressed or drawn to the book. Slowly, it started to seep... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I must confess that if this had not been a heavily reviewed book it would not have crossed by path, but I am so glad it did. It was really wonderful to read this book. When I read such a compelling story it pains me that people wonder why we 'dwell' on the past so much. I have recommended this book... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I've read almost all the books in this series, and they are all wonderful examples of great, funny, compelling writing. His psychology is obviously of a professional level, and I think it is possible to learn something from it. I can't wait to read the last 2 books that are out. | 4.0 / 5.0

Book Review submitted by: Stephen J. Hage, SteveH9697@aol.com
This book falls into the "serious fiction" or "literary fiction" category which means it is not genre fiction. Its focus is on psychological depth and character rather than narrative and plot; and on that score it delivers with a... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I bought this one when I was at a point in my life in which I was asking the question posed in the title, read it, found it unremarkable and cheesy, then ended up selling it to a used book store. I think the appeal of this book hinges on what you're looking to get out of it. It's essentially a book... more info | 3.0 / 5.0
