About this listen
One boy, one boat, one tiger....
British comedian, actor and broadcaster Sanjeev Bhaskar, OBE performs this brilliant edition of a work of fiction that is loved by fans around the world. After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a 16 year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orangutan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for an extraordinary adventure.

Just brilliant
Sanjeev reads this beautiful book with passion and characterful clarity.
Aside from the book being a masterpiece, listening to the audiobook version was a great pleasure.

Wow!
Bloody hell, what a book.
I thought this book was going to be pants.
Lack of characters, lack of setting etc made me think there wouldn’t be enough substance to make it 11 hours of enjoyable content.
I have never been so glad to be so wrong.
Book is in three parts and each part is a thing of beauty. Character depth makes you, as a listener, share in the tragedies and glories of the main character. At the end, I found myself feeling like I needed a moment just to gather myself.
The narration of the story is amazing. No one could have done a better job. Simply put, it was perfect for the story and bought it to life in a way that fit like a perfect cut jigsaw piece.
This is now one of my favourite audiobooks, up there with The Martian.

Fantastic story and wonderfully read
Absolutely loved Sanjeev Bhaskar narrating- great tone and difference between the voices.
Harrowing in parts with some of the graphic details but very necessary to add weight and emotion to the story. Read the book years ago and throughly enjoyed it - equally enjoyed the listen.

An interesting story with some pacing issues.
Overall good, but drags in parts, presumably meant to reflect the character's own experience.

Excellent
Not even seen the movie or knew much about it so listening to it without any influence was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the story was excellent and the narration is well read and performed. Fully recommend this.

Darn on it.
Gets a bit dull in the middle i felt, but well worth finishing. Makes an interesting case for religion. (also if that theme interests you, i reccomend "Religion for Atheists")

Favourite Read, Favourite Audiobook
Wow, Sanjeev Bhaskar brought to life my all time favourite novel. I love this story on so many levels, and now I couldn’t imagine anyone else’s voice.
