Life of Pi

Finished reading "Life of Pi" last week. I had been meaning to read it since last winter...tried to convince my book club to read it, but they would have none of it. This book interested me from Part I, when we get to know Pi and his philosophies and faith(s), through his survival story in Part II to the humorous account of his debriefing in Part III. I do believe that many parts would be considered rather gross by my book club cohorts. But I wish they'd read it anyway so that we could discuss the ending, which still has me puzzling and wanting to go back and read it again.
(Tip: if you are even remotely considering reading this book, PLEASE don't read the review on Amazon...it tells too much and spoils the ending)
