Patel was named after a French swimming pool and then nicknamed himself after the irrational number. He survives 227 days lost at sea with a Royal Bengal Tiger until he arrives at the coast of Mexico. Life of Pi is a truly incredible book crafted by Yann Martel’s exquisite knowledge of mundane facts which help aid the legitimacy of the book.

This second story, the reasonable one, riddled with rational makes it believable but…
