A Review on "Life of Pi"

The novel Life of Pi is a fantasy adventure story by the Canadian author Yann Martel published in 2001. However, the story can be read more as a metaphorical narrative that explores the possibility of God's existence. Anewspaper review I read when the film adaptation of the book was released somewhere in 2009 drew an analogy between this story and the story of Robinson Crusoe. The analogy is not completely out of place, however the methods adopted to explore the theme of survival are vastly different.
