LIFE OF PI -- Yann Martel
Audio Book -- read by Jeff Woodman (with Alexander Marshall)
11-1/2 hours on 9 cds -- Complete and Unabridged
An Indian boy, the son of a zoo keeper, is the lone survivor of the sinking of a cargo ship which had been transporting zoo animals to Canada. He survives the lengthy journey with a Bengal tiger as companion.
An interesting story at times, but droning and boring as I listened to it. It never fully captured my attention and drew me into the tale. I'm not at all sure as to why it has received the attention that it has. I would not recommend it, though I wouldn't necessarily steer anyone away from it if they wanted to read it. Very average at best.
