F's review

Apr 16, 2012

it was amazing

bookshelves: seen-movie, 2013, india

I loved this book! I watched the film before reading the book and I loved both of them.
I enjoy short chapters so this was good for me. Best scene was the 3 religious men arguing about Pi's religion. Found it really smartly done and funny.
