Rating: Summary: A piognant story of a boy's emotional attchment to his pig. Review: A Day No Pigs Would Die made me cry. It sheds new light on our views of animals. They can feel and make us feel. Even if they can't speak our language, there is a strong bond between us. I have yet to read the sequel, A Part of the Sky. Touching.

Rating: Summary: Very Boring and Very Depressing Review: Peck's A DAY NO PIGS WOULD DIE was extremely boring at first, and wasn't very enjoyable. It was very depressing and it seemed absolutely pointless after a while. Can't the author even make up names???? And everything had the simple excuse, "You're a man." If anything sad happened, it was because you were a man. Very boring and very depressing, I give it 2 stars because it shows you how bad your life COULD BE and the struggle of it if you haven't experienced it.
Rating: Summary: A Classic Review: Robert Newton Peck's A Day No Pigs Would Die is an excellent coming-of-age story about a 12-year-old Shaker boy's relationship with his father. Peck is a gifted author. The book is autobiographical in nature. The book relays a sense of what growing-up in rural Vermont in the mid-1920s was like. The Pecks were not monetarily wealthy, but they had all the wealth they needed---each other. This book is a true classic and a gem!
