The reasoning behind my book selection

The Life of Pi

Written by Yann Martel (Born in Spain of Canadian parents. He grew up in Costa Rica, France, Mexico, and Canada.)

I became interested in this book when I saw some of my classmates reading this book. After asking my mom about the book and reading the back cover it seems to have a non-conventional plot line and unique set of events. I have yet to start reading the book but because it is written by a male author, which are obviously better than female authors, and because Yann Martel grew up in a plethora of countries and continents, I hope that this book will be a good and interesting book.
