Book Reviews of Life of Pi
Book Review: Renew your childlike wonder for reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to buy a copy of this book for my husband after checking it out from the library. The story is an unbelievable misadventure that breathes on the pages with the help of Martel's poignant protagonist. The story had me so rapt that I couldn't wait to return to it and felt like a kid discovering the joy of reading. The beautiful illustrations lend to that feeling of being a big kid with an adult picture book. Lose yourself in this fantastic tale.Book Review: Every read is better than the last
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so many good books to read in the world, I rarely read one twice. I have read my paperback edition of Life of Pi three times now and I can't wait to get my hands on the illustrated version! I will have to make it a fourth read as soon as I receive it. Each time I read it, I find something new...a new idea, a new hint, a new question... If you are headed on a vacation for spring or summer break, make sure this book is in your carry-on!Book Review: Life of Pi Book - Deluxe Illustrated Hard Cover
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow...this book is beautiful inside and out! My 13-year old son is only halfway through it but insists that I need to read "Life of Pi" when he's done. This is only the second time my easily bored, picky reader has enjoyed a book that much (the other book was "Dove" by Robin Lee Graham). This appears to be a book that can be handed down to my future grandchildren to read, and I can't wait to read it!Book Review: a classic illustrated
Summary: 5 Stars
Yan Martell's destined-to-be-a-classic Life of Pi is a wonderful read by itself. But coupled with the excellent illustrations in this volume, the story is enhanced by images from the perspective of the protagonist. If you've already read the book and liked it, get *this* version for your personal library. If you haven't read it and want to do so someday, then don't wait and get this version now.Book Review: Great story, mediocre illustrations
Summary: 1 Stars
Life of Pi is a deeply wonderful story, but I was very disappointed in these illustrations--the colors are vivid but the illustrations don't add anything to the experience of Pi's story. I was really excited when I saw the fine cover illustration of the tiger, but aside from that one and the illustration of Orange Juice floating atop the bananas, they were lifeless and lacked a spark.
