From the TALK series, Reader's Choice
A boy's family perishes when their ship sinks in the Atlantic; he survives, adrift in a 26-foot life boat for 227 days. His shipmate: a 450 pound Bengal tiger. No, this is not a fantasy tiger that embodies human qualities and philosophizes with his human companion; it is a real, dangerous carnivore and Pi Patel must employ all his knowledge and cunning to survive. Martel's story is filled with gripping tension, fascinating views of animal behavior, reflections on the spiritual life, and an unforgettable narrator. 401 pp.
