A beautiful book about the sixteen-year-old boy named Pi. After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, he is the only survivor together with some animals from his fathers zoo, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Placed in the bookshelf at La Baguette, a cafe in Oslo S trainstation.

Released in the zone. Thank you!! :-)

What fun it was to visit an OBCZ in another country. I had the adresses of more OBCZ's in Oslo, but the only one I could find was the one in the cafe in the railway station. And such nice books I found there! Thanks for supplying them! I picked up 3 and put two others on your bookshelves. Funny to see that there was a book of the Dutch writer Margriet de Moor, translated into scandinavion language (I cannot remember which language, I suppose it was norwegian ;o) on your shelves. I put amongst others an in Dutch translated book of Swedish writer Henning Mankell next to it...

Now I have returned home from our holiday in Scandinavia I first have to do some cleaning and washing, but after that reading the Life of Pi will bring me back in Norway! Thanks for having such a great OBCZ!!

I just became a bookcrosser last month, and it is great to see that one of my books has already travelled to another country:-) I hope you will enjoy Life of Pi as much as I did!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

This book is on my To Be Read-shelf far too long, so I will give it back its freedom. I will put it in between the pluche toys of the toysdepartment at V&D, a big warehouse in the city center of Groningen. I hope the tiger, hyena, orang-utan, Pi and the crippled zebra in the book will feel at home between the pluche animals...;o))

Hooray! A wild book which I really wanted to read. I went to the warehouse as soon as time permitted and got daunted by the hundreds of cuddly animals in the toys department. After taking a deep breath, I did a methodical search and behold, I found the book.

Started reading soon after, on a bench close to the university. Thank you, previous releasers, for getting it in my hands!

CAUGHT IN GRONINGEN GRONINGEN NETHERLANDS

Forgot to login in my hurry to journal the book. This is the retry to connect it to my BC-name.

What a fantastic cracker of a book! Easily the best book I read this year. I went through it as fast as my schedule would allow, with a marathon sprint last night. Some stuff (eg. the floating meerkat island, the blind encounter with the blind frenchman) is too fantastic to believe, but that's just a question of accepting the story as given. It's fiction, right? The premise of the story, sharing a lifeboat with a tiger, is totally acceptable.

Will be released soon, preferably to someone who can appreciate it.

Phew! Now I can get on with my life again.

Laissé avec les autres livres de l'escalier. Ce livre continue son tour de l'Europe.

Put with the other books next to the stairs. This book continues with its tour of Europe.
