It is not a classic, but it was entertaining and sort of clever. The other EBL loved it, but what she liked was probably the least likable part of the story for me. It is at its heart a survival at sea story and how people deal with life threatening stress. The sub-themes of the character dealing with religion and science were less interesting to me.
Still, I read that sparkly vampire book when I was stuck in a cabin and had nothing else to read, and Life of Pi was better than that, by far.
I haven't read "Life of Pi" but my kid had to for a class. He said it almost made him give up reading. I didn't want to risk that, so I skipped it.
