A very entertaining novel about an Indian boy lost at sea after his ship sank, with only a zebra, a hyena, and a vicious tiger in his lifeboat. But most of all a story of faith, and believing in what feels best, rather than what sounds more logical.Lots of love for the way Martel manages to describe the immensely long, lonely, empty period in the lifeboat without ever becoming slightly boring. The short chapters make it the perfect book to take with you and read on the bus, train, or in bed. Already looking forward to the film version!
