If you mean the one by Yann Martel, here is what I found:
1) www.reviewsofbooks.com/life_of_pi/review/
2) dir.salon.com/story/books/review/2002/08/01/martel/index.html
3) www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0305/reviews/boyagoda.html
I hope these helped!

basically, pi gets stuck on a boat with a zebra with a broken leg, an orangutan, a hyena and a tiger after the boat they were all on sinks. they get along fine, until the hyena gets hungry and attacks the zebra. the tiger has never seen an orangutan in his life, so he doesn't know what to make of it, but it eats the hyena and later kills the orangutan. eventually, pi (short for piscine) is stuck on the boat with the tiger. he realizes that in order for the tiger to not attack him, he has to make it afraid of him, so he uses tactics that hes seen his father use (works at zoo). the tiger is subdued and realizes that pi is his only source of food (he hunts for food in the sea) , so he leaves him alone. they then reach an island and pi passes out. he is then in a room and interrogated, and then we find out that it is all fake. the zebra represnts the soldier with the broken knee, the hyena the cook and the orangutan the mom. the tiger represents hmself. the cook was a cannibal and ate the soldier and the mom. pi is essentially crazy after having seeen such things. thats basically it. hope this helps.

This site has reviews. But you need to read and write your own summary.
