Interstellar Pig

Summary: Sleator's best, no doubt about it
Review: William Sleator recently visited my school. So, needless to say, all the kids were forced to read a bunch of his books. Out of the one's I read (Interstellar Pig, House of Stairs, The Boxes, The Spirit House and SIngularity) Interstellar Pig was far and away my favorite. This very well-written and exceptionally creative book was simply a joy to read from start to finish. The subtle descriptions are exquisite and there are several very suprising twists throughout. I felt that at one point toward the end it was just violent and boring but the book definitely picks up again with yet another wonderful plot twist. A often hilarious, interesting, unusual and all around excellent book. This is William Sleator's masterpiece, simple as that.
