If you are a person who has turned away by discussions of faith, do not write this book off as a religious statement–because it is so much more than that. Religion is a concept that everyone struggles with as a child. He tries Muslin, Christian, Hindu, Agnosticism, but does not decide on which one fits him the best. Pi battles with religious identification as he practices through numerous theologies to find the best one. Because Pi spent the majority of his childhood at his father’s zoo he gained a breadth of knowledge about animals and their behaviors–knowledge that would prove useful later in his life. The first section tells the story of Pi as a boy growing up in India as the son of a zookeeper. The novel, which is a Man-Booker Prize winner by the way, is written in three separate sections.
