(Taken out of the Jackson Heights library and renewed once, returned one day late) I felt I should read this after seeing the movie years ago and the Broadway/West End stage version recently. Plus the BBC says it's one of the 100 books I should read before I die (I've read 36 of them so so far). Fascinatingly fantastic tale of an Indian teenager trapped on a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific with a man-eating tiger named Richard Parker. Haunting, imaginative, horrifying, heart-breaking. Martel makes you question what's real and what isn't? After reading it, you wonder how this could ever work as a film or a play, but the adaptations are equally brilliant.
