Life of Pi

A very good book...
...Pi's father decides to relocate to Canada, sells his zoo and boards the cargo ship. In the midst of the journey the ship sinks and Pi shares a lifeboat with an injured Zebra, an Orangutan a Hyena and a Royal Bengal Tiger. Pi did not know where the tiger was so he concentrates on Hyena. Hyena begins to feed on the injured Zebra and kills the Orangutan after the Zebra dies. Pi thinks he is the next when he spots the Tiger. Tiger was hungry and kills Hyena to eat. Tiger does not immediately attacks Pi. Pi avoids direct confrontation with the Tiger and feeds him with his catch of fish thinking a healthy and fed tiger won't be a threat. Due to malnutrition Pi falls sick. He could not catch the fish anymore. He meets another castaway who jumps on Pi's boat with an intent to kill him. Tiger kills the intruder for food. Pi then washes ashore to a carnivorous island...
