I am Pigman. Hear me roar...like a monkey.

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: Interesting, honest, and surprisingly uncute.
Review: Being of sound mind and body on this 15th day of April in our sophomore year at Franklin High School, let it be known that Lorraine Jensen and John Conlan have decided to record the facts, and only the facts, about our experiences with Mr. Angelo...

The pigman, fact or fiction?

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2000
Review: The pigman

I remember back in the 7th grade when my assignment was to read this book, a book called the pigman. I remember myself thinking, what the hell the pigman? And remember referring to the book with such words as stupid, dumb, and...

Don't judge a book by its title

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: The book is very sad, but not in a heartbreaking kind of way. It was charming.
Review: STORY:

The story is narrated by two high school students, John and Lorraine. They're writing of a recent event that had happened to them while it is still fresh in their minds.

John is a bit reckless. He drinks, smokes, talks...

Review: First off I would like to say that I NEVER have really liked to read fiction books, so with that said...

When I first picked up this book I thought that the name was kind of weird. But my best friend wanted me to read it, so I figured I'd...

Round of Applause

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a great book to polish up on on a rainy day, and it would be great to read to a teenager aloud.
Review: Many people like Paul Zindel for his writing style, not for the tales that he tell. I now like him for both.

Zindel created a good book in The Pigman, the story of two teenagers in high school who find and ultimately fall in love with this...

The Pigman's Issues

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: A very good book for teenagers. A suspenseful and sad ending...A very good book!
Review: I think this book has a lot of meaning in it. At first i read the book and started drifting away because it seemed boring. But as I got to read farther from the book, the book seemed to interest me. The book has many conflicts happening with the two...

What will happen to you when your wife dies?

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent novel but very sad. Do not read it if you are looking for something happy.
Review: So John and Lorraine are two kids at the local high school. The book begins with a death: John say the Pigman dies. Quickly the book alternates narrators; during one chapter John is the narrator, during the next Lorraine is the narrator. And here is...

The Pigman, a Great for Young and Old

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: Go to the library and read this book right now - you wont regret it!
Review: The very first time I read this book, was at school. Our teacher assigned it to us at the very end of the year and said that we would really enjoy it. I am by no means a book worm or any other book maniac, but this was one of the few books that I...

Great Start and Middle, Weak Ending

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2006
Review: Years ago, The Pigman was a required reading book at my high school.The story starts out pretty interesting, but even at the middle its, hard to predict where the story's going. The end was completely unexpected. It didn't really go with the theme...

What is the Pig Man?

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2000
