Publisher's summary

One boy, one boat, one tiger....

British comedian, actor and broadcaster Sanjeev Bhaskar, OBE performs this brilliant edition of a work of fiction that is loved by fans around the world. After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a 16 year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orangutan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for an extraordinary adventure.

Critic reviews

"A unique and original story, brilliantly told." (Guardian)
"Pi is bewitching, the tale both nihilistic and naïve, philosophical and playful, deeply moving while always treading the line clear of schmalz." (Independent)
"Every page offers something of tension, humanity, surprise, or even ecstasy." (The Times)

Brilliantly read

It is a classic, so going into detail of the story may be irrelevant. But the reading of this book , the accents and characters, pace , everything was very well done. The reader managed to match the mood of the text and built suspense so effortlessly

Well done!

A great story

It is a great story I like to read when I am a fifth .
I choose five stars because it is a fun and adventure story like Robinson . He had a fun time with Richard Parker the tiger . It is also a sad story . The ship to Canada sinked. 😭😭😭
