I haven't seen the movie (yet), but I don't remember feeling cheated by the book's ending. Pi is a storyteller. He told his story, then he told the story his doctors wanted to hear. What's the truth? It's a story!Mark Stegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376182294736839659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-67227041688728993192012-06-25T21:55:06.857-05:002012-06-25T21:55:06.857-05:00What a fabulous book!

Doubt is useful for a while. We must all pass through the garden of Gethsemane. If Christ played with doubt, so must we. If Christ spent an anguished night in prayer, if He burst out from the Cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” then surely we are also permitted doubt. But we must move on. To chose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation." (Chapter 7)H William Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766864828107950608noreply@blogger.com
