robinreard said: This is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. Martel has a real talent for painting with words, and the depth of his philosophy is subtly apparent in each stroke of his verbal brush. Many times I stopped, took a deep breath, and re-read an entire paragraph just to enjoy it again.
The story takes you from a zoo in India, where you learn the true animal nature of the captive creatures, to a small boat accidentally adrift on the ocean, where a boy is trapped alone except for one companion: a tiger. What will it take for this boy and the potential man-eater to coexist in this tiny space?
When I got to the end, I found myself thinking back over the book trying to understand where the author landed me. And even now, I'm not entirely sure.
