As I began reading "The Life of Pi", I'd always have a dictionary or some technology with me. This was because throughout the start of the book, the character introduced the setting, alongside with animals that I haven't ever heard of. An example would be like "one-wattled cassowaries" or "cape glossy starlings". So I always have to pull out google images to see what the animal looks like and attempt to focus back into the story. To be honest, this book took a long time to get interesting. It's like one of those survival books, except the setting is set in the middle of the sea and there's some random animals that later on some representation. I learned that hunger can drive to madness and sometimes one can do stupid things. For example, Pi, the main character in the story is left with his hungry tiger. Pi acted like an animal and both of them claimed territory by doing what animals do. Peeing or throwing up, which is pretty disturbing when reading. Another very disturbing thing about Pi's action was taking the initiative to test whether his tiger's excretion...was edible. Or in this case, he just wanted to eat the tiger's poop. Pi was hungry. He was curious. He took one, popped in his mouth and spat it out. And to be honest, I kind of felt like throwing up. There were also times where Pi tends to get all physiological about how he viewed religion and whether there was a force that might be out there to help him. But if I could summarize this whole book with one word, it would be boring. To me, it's one of those really long books that you lose yourself on what happens and end up staring at one page blanking out.
