Tale of Bravery n Courage  
By Prakash, 01/07/2008 16:59:53

Yann Martel is a genius story teller and he weaves a tale that is entertaining. `Life of Pi` is the story of a 16-year old Indian boy Pi Patel. He spends 227 days at sea with a dangerous Bengal tiger as companion. Pi Patel's journey, and survival. He survives because of his intelligence, courage and confidence. There are moments when we feel pity about the little boy fighting with all the odds just to survive. Very touching and courageous tale.
I am sure, Yann Martel will dazzle you with his prose and his mastery
