Book Review - Life of Pi by Yann Martel

I really enjoyed Life of Pi. I love the way the book is written, with all the emotion and description and voice of a memoir. It carries the first-person intensity needed to make a story such as this really pop into life. The imagery and detail are also very fun. I love the science-y bits that are included, especially the bits that show how much Pi has learned about the world and his circumstance since the time of the shipwreck. It gives the story a very realistic feel.

My only reservation is that Life of Pi wasn't a book I just had to keep reading. I could put it down. In fact I actually did set it down when things got busy and it stayed down for two weeks. I didn't become as addicted to the book as I would have liked to.

Will I reread Life of Pi? Yes, because I did enjoy it, but because I didn't become addicted to it like I have to other books, it will probably be a few years before I pick it up again.

All things considered, my verdict is that this is a book you should read at least once.

I give it: 4 out of 5 stars

Review-This-Book Kindle Sale -- January 30 - February 5

Calling all fantasy readers and reviewers! 

I've written many times about the importance of reviews in the world market. They give people a better understanding of what they're buying before they buy it, from the perspective of regular people like them. Well, I find myself caught in the review tide, and I need your help.

I want to share my books with more people around the world. I want to see more people fall in love with the characters and stories. But I need to get more reviews to help me do that. SO...

I'm throwing my hat into a Review-This-Book kindle sale.

The sale will last from January 30th - February 5th on Amazon.com.

From January 30 thru February 2 at Noon, both series starter books, The Kingdom and the Crown and Mimgardr, will be just $0.99.

From February 2 at Noon thru February 5, the price of each book will go up slightly to $1.99.

The goal of this sale is to spread the books around and draw in more reviews. If you've already read my books, please take a few minutes to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. If you haven't read them, don't miss this chance to pick up a great book.

Links to each Kindle book page can be found on the right-hand side of my blog. Simply click on the cover picture under the heading "Kindle". You can also check them out on my author site HERE. There you can read the entire first chapter for free if you wish and still find the links to Amazon.

Thanks for helping me spread the word and for writing reviews. Have a blast reading!
