‘When he was away from work, he preferred to take notes. At night before bed he copied everything he had done, down to the most minute detail, in his diary. He had started months ago when he first found the events of the day receding, even before he had slept, like the details of a dream”. -R.S. Jones, Force of Gravity 5/11/07

What would you do if you were stuck in a lifeboat with a tiger, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? This book is definitely one of the best books I have ever read. It is a survival story, but completely original. The "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel is about a teenager named Piscene, (but he calls himself pi) who's father owns a zoo. They move to canada by ship, but while they are in the middle of the pacific, they are hit by a severe storm and the ship sinks. Pi is stuck in a life boat, with a tiger, hyena, and a zebra. Eventually it is narrowed down to just Pi and and the tiger. I loved this book, and would say it is good for the 14+ age group. It is not a simple book to read, and that is why I still remember it, even though I read it a few years ago. At the end of the book, it leaves you with a question that you'll always wonder about: What was the real story? Were the ones on the boat people, or animals?
