It's an awesome read! One of my favourite books :D

Essays can be easy but can also get complex, depending on the themes discussed within the essay topic. This year's essay topics for the exam were a bit more complex than those of 2010 but still doable. I think the best way to start studying for it is just read it as much as you can - this would be good because the allegory within it can be a bit confusing for some people.

Also, remember these are the main themes of Life of Pi, so just base your study/quotes/ideas around these themes - that's what I did
-Faith
-Imagination vs. Reason
-Anthropomorphism (projection of human qualities onto animals)
-Religion
-The "Better" Story
-Truth
-The Power of Storytelling
-The Will to Survive
-Rationality vs. Irrationality
-Science vs. Religion

Btw, if you need ANY help at all for Life of Pi, feel free to ask! ;D ;D
