When Caitlin recommended I read this book because, “It's about a kid who lives at a zoo! And there's a tiger in it,” I figured I would at least like it. Needless to say, Caitlin knows me well, because I really loved this book. I don't want to give anything away, but telling a survival story in this way is so original and clever. Combine great writing with the fact that the book is woven with animals and animal facts and you've got a book I love. I never expected myself to end up loving the tiger as much as the boy in the end but [a:Yann Martel 811 Yann Martel http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1196019014p2/811.jpg] makes it completely impossible to do anything else.
