Beatrice and Virgil is so dull, so misguided, so pretentious
that only the prospect of those millions of "Pi" fans could secure the
interest of major publishers and a multimillion-dollar advance. This
short tale runs into trouble almost from its first precious page with an
autobiographical portrait of the thinly disguised author.
Ron Charles - Washington Post
Dark but divine.... This novel might just be a masterpiece about
the Holocaust.... Martel brilliantly guides the reader from the
too-sunny beginning into the terrifying darkness of the old man's shop
and Europe's past. Everything comes into focus by the end, leaving the
reader startled, astonished, and moved.
