Week 6 Post B

I am amazed at how much there is to write about a boy and a tiger stuck on a life boat. The setting, plot and characters wouldn't seem like an engaging one for the reader however I am always surprised by what happens next. The unpredictable and somewhat ridiculous nature of the novel makes it very entertaining to read. This book is also a lot like Cormac McCarthy's novel "The Road" which also has only two main characters and describes a post-apocalyptic world in which a father and son much survive. Between "The Road" and "Life of Pi" both of the novels share the same themes of survival and love.
