Emi Mo _i_o — 2.5 stars. I wanted to like this book. It's been on my list forever, and when it finally came up for book club, I was excited. Until I started reading. And reading. Oh, we're traveling. And traveling. Now in a forest. Traveling. Not until about page 145 does anything really happen. Many of the reviews mention how great the author's writing is. Uhm... it was simple. Easy to understand. (Sorry, I'm used to much better fantasy writers.) A little too descriptive without a point of reference, and the characters were ... okay. Yes, the narrator is probably the most likable, but even that isn't saying much. We get TOLD a lot of things. I feel like some of the characters are just in the story to world-build for us. I would have liked the story to show us what the world was like, and to let the world unfold on its own. We don't need instructors and apprentices to continuously tell us things. Then there's a twist at the end. I did find that enjoyable, but even then I was a little let down. Where was THIS story? THIS writing? Too little, too late. In fantasy readers sometimes make fun of being "stuck in the forest" which is a way of saying that characters aren't doing anything. And we were literally in the forest or traveling for so much of this book. Other reviews mention how good the second book is. Maybe it is, but if the first book doesn't garner my attention, doesn't make me care enough ... to pick up the next one.

Chee Reyes cheysserre1f55 — He promises at the beginning that this story will make you believe in God. With the emotional depths he reaches inside the reader, Pi proves this to be absolutely true. Consequently, Pi makes you believe anything he says. He's a smart boy and a seeker of love in as many religions that allow him to express it. I warmed to him immediately, the way he took everything in with a quiet and non-judgemental observance. Pi, despite everything around him a chaos enough to quicken the reader's heartbeat and cheer outloud for his success, is a steadfast and methodical son, brother and sailor. He is many other things, but above all, Pi is a trainer and he trains himself to survive above many miraculous odds. One of those odds is Richard Parker. Without going into much detail about Richard Parker, I will only say that, mirrored in Pi's own eyes, his most wise and repectable eyes, I too love Richard Parker. Without him this story would have lacked so much and told so little. When you add an element of animal to the story, all expectations are thrown out the boat, so to speak. And what an animal! "He was simply taking me in, observing me, in a manner that was sober but not menacing. He kept twitching his ears and varying the sideways turn of his head. It was all, so, well, catlike. He looked like a nice, big, fat domestic cat, a 450-pound tabby." That is one of my favorite illustrations of Richard Parker. Right before he divulges a friendly "Prusten" to let Pi know he was not alone. Pi would never be alone.

Juan Felipe joleva — Taubes explores how "Eat a low fat diet rich in whole grains" got to be what most Americans think of as a healthy diet. The book is a great epidemiology whodunnit. Who replaced nutrition science with dogma? Who benefits today from American's unhealthy diet? A book best paired with a steak and gorgonzola salad with a hearty pinot noir.
