I just finished this book over the lunch hour, so my review may not be the most clear-headed. Martel uses this narrative to explore what is beautiful about faith and life and what is exceedingly awful. I really got into the story, although some parts were tedious and other parts were written sloppily. Since I tend to suspend my disbelief quite willingly when I read these kinds of stories, I was surprised and upset by the ending. I have a feeling Deb probably figured out what Pi was doing much earlier. You should not read this book while eating (I made that mistake twice...yuck).

Terrorism, by definition, operates outside the traditional rules of war. It's hard to combat because attacks are no longer limited to people wearing military uniforms at well-formed battle lines: they can happen anywhere, at any time, and they may well target people who don't have any direct knowledge of the peoples and issues involved. This is the arena of Abe F. March's chilling novel "They Plotted Revenge Against America." The novel is chilling, not because it's filled with larger than life James Bond daring-do in faraway trouble spots. Quite the contrary: this novel takes place on American soil as survivors of the American attack on Baghdad blend in to mainstream America to personally extract revenge against everyday citizens. "They Plotted Revenge Against America" is a plausible, sobering, intricate and effectively plotted story about a group of well-trained, well-coordinated teams who slip into the U.S. with forged papers and then painstakingly work through a plan that will infect food and water supplies with a deadly virus. These team members are not the gun-wielding, grenade-throwing stereotypical terrorists we see in most TV shows and movies. They are everyday people who have suffered personal loss and who want to fight back. Once their mission is complete, they plan--if possible--to go back to their normal lives. As the mission unfolds, they alternate between excitement and doubt while trying to avoid detection, and in the process, they discover while blending into community life, that Americans are not the monsters they expected. Since the overall mission leader is a double agent working for Israel's Mossad, group members must not only avoid Homeland Security and other U.S. law enforcement agencies, but the highly effective Israel intelligence agency as well. This subplot is a nice touch in a book that suggests we're more vulnerable than we suspect.
Recurring people play scapegoats for secret agencies. They became a clog in the wheel of the secret service during this new age set story. These common individuals flee amok catching up somehow in controversy leading to powerful governmental consequences. The technology in this near future view compared to ours would look like our own perceiving it by a general point of view. This story is interesting. Its political viewpoint becomes a part of the story adding interest in the normal collective opinions of the FBI. An investigated crime is committed against the public security during an extreme surveillance of a secret agent and the higher-ups need answers or want it covered up. A crust of time spans between the FBI and lives of innocent people who from their everyday activity go to hiding in fear of the FBI. They’ve learned of secrets and add some realizations about the FBI. The FBI begins to exhaust their powers investigating these innocent people. Only the FBI becomes pitted against their one self as their own terrorists in a baffling case that becomes a battle over an oppressive investigation spree. Important FBI agents become eliminated while trying to apprehend the innocent group of people. The innocent eventually struggle with their learning of other uncovered secrets. After this they learn of a greater mistake than efforts can undo in time. The awareness of it to stopping it take on some definite shape. To succeed in its undoing the people continue running away from the FBI. Uncunningly they come into play and they join in the fight against the uncovered tyranny or selfishness, secrets of a kind whatever it is, it becomes the sensation of invasion of these innocent. What they never knew they now learn to hate it. They somehow learn of the oncoming world catastrophe but they do not know how to stop even that. It may have been determined already set into motion before their involvement to bring the end.

In places this almost made me feel sorry for Hannibal, but not quite.

I liked this novel. What was satisfying for me was that at the end, the loose ends are if not tied in a bow, introduced to each other. While the lives detailed were often sad and hopeless and confused, there was some sense of order and grace at the end that was reassuring. Hoffman is an exquisite writer, and while I could have done with less of the practical magical realism here (was the ghost actually necessary?), I thought her point of learning to let go to move on was clear and well rendered.

I was continually amazed at this woman's strength and faith.
Most of the human characters in this book were unworthy or disappointing in some way. By reading this book, I felt like I really got to know Seabiscuit, and he was quite an impressive, driven, quirky, fun, spirited character.
This book is being adapted into a television show. I'll give it a try. Hopefully I will get a chance to read it before seeing the tv show. I read her second book, Tales from the Crib, and thought it was pretty funny. Now that I'm finished with the book I have to say that I enjoyed the TV series more. And I found her second book, Tales from the Crib, funnier than this one. The main character, Lara, is really mean and bitchy in Tales from the Underbelly. They softened up her character a bit for TV.
