Life of Pi
by

‘life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it - a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can.’
and sometimes stories are so beautiful that souls have fallen in a love with them - a tender, quiet love that nurtures what it can.
this is one of those stories.
its a story that will always have a special place in my heart. its one of the only books that has ever made me re-evaluate my beliefs on faith, it helped me further realise the impact and importance of the connection between humans and animals, and it planted a seed of hope that life can be beautiful, even in the most harrowing of circumstances.
this is the kind of story that will always teach life lessons, no matter at which age you read it and regardless of the amount of re-reads. you will always walk away from this book having learnt something new about life, the world, and about yourself.
it is truly one of the most beautiful stories i have ever had the privilege of reading.
↠ 5 stars

Wonderful review, Jessica! :)
thank you, deepthi!! :)
aw. thanks, rey!! ☺️
Great review! It is a beautiful book - one of the few that I had to read for school that I ended up falling in love with
wow! im jealous that you had this as a school reading - none of the books i read for school were this great. so happy you enjoyed it, rachel! :)
Beautiful cover on this edition!
right!? i already owned the original edition, but i went out and bought this copy because i loved the cover so much! 🙈
Brilliant review Jessica ☺️
aww. thank you, lucy!! <3
wow Jessica you read really fast. I see you give reviews almost everyday.
I had to read this for high school and absolutely hated it. I wonder if I read it out of a school setting I might enjoy it more.
This wonderful review makes me feel odd beacause I have hated this book since I had to read it in high school. Maybe I should read it again..
albert - the film is spectacular! one of my favourite film-to-book adaptations. briana - haha. blame it on COVID.
shayla - oh, this wasnt one of my school books. but i totally understand that. i never liked a book i was being forced to read and analyse.
sabrina - nooo! dont feel old! haha.
maureen - so happy to hear that! :)
Good review Jessica, I love your focus on the beauty in the story - there's a lot of it
I agree it was very good it makes you think about religion. also about stereotypes.
