As the pages continue to turn, so Pi continues his fateful journey to his ultimate destination: Canada. All joking aside, Pi has really become an interesting person in my eyes. Sure, he seems to be slightly bipolar, at times feeling like the king of the world (or lifeboat), and then sporadically turning around and dooming himself psychologically. Evidently, these are the types of characteristics one picks up as they lounge on a lifeboat with a 450 pound Bengal tiger for long periods of time.
Martell has also continued to impress me with his mastery of the written word. I challenge the reader to find another author (other than the late Robert Jordan) that can write more than 5 pages about a guy living on a boat in the Pacific Ocean with a tiger. Monotony should be prevalent, only it isn't. Martell, somehow, continues to create words out of nowhere, and for that, he has my respect. The only thing left is to finish the book, which at this point seems a little challenging. Darn you Calculus.
