Life Of Pi- Part 1

Before reading Life Of Pi, I was told that the book was very good by several people. But like we discussed in class, it's really slow at the beginning throughout the first several chapters. Martel begins describing the qualities and benefits of sloths which (granted, made a very good point) seemed kind of inconsistent with the book. To sum it up in a nutshell, it seems boring, for now. It is very hard to keep up with what Pi is speaking of and how the book switches from Pi's narrative to the Martel's narrative (at least I think it's Martel's narrative). It is very confusing in that it is hard to keep up with the bland flat-out boringness of his Pi's life experiences and his growing up. Maybe I'm just the type that enjoys drama more than or rather than life stories, with all due respect to life stories. But who knows? All that being said, I will heed fellow readers' advice and continue reading Life Of Pi. I won't base my entire opinion of the book on the first several chapters. I shall read on and offer my opinion on Life Of Pi once I have finished it. We'll see.
