Summary: I thought it was a good book except the death of Pinky
Review: I was reading this book for school, and I came to the part of slaughtering the pet pig, Pinky.I read this part and I feel that it was too descriptive and now it is causing me to have some thoughts about being a vegeterian.The story was interesting to learn about the Shakers' way of life, and although I do understand that slaughtering animals puts food on the table, I still think that that particular description could have been more left to the readers imagination. Why did the Author name the book "A Day No Pigs Would Die," with a virtual blow-by-blow description of the slaughter itself?

Summary: I didn't like it.
Review: Though I'm sure there are many people out there who would enjoy this book, I am not one of them. I found this book to be one of the books I have enjoyed the least out of all the books I have ever read. The author was extremely too elaborate when it came to birth and death scenes, and if sad stories depress you, stay away from this one. The plot was not thought out enough, and at times the young boy in the story seemed to be way too ignorant for a boy his age.

Rating:
Summary: Robert Peck is turning from a boy to a man.
Review: This book was a great novel involving birth and death. It helped me to learn that some things must be done ,and if your the only one to do it it will get done.

Rating:
Summary: Robert Peck transedns from boy to man in only a short time.
Review: This book is an excellent novel involving numerous examples of births and deaths. Although, I would not recommend it to anyone who gets queasy easily because of the grotesque deaths. It shows how the real world was in the olden days, and how a boy had to quickly becomea man due to his father's terrible death.

Rating:
Summary: It is about Robert Peck's jouney into manhood.
Review: This book is an interesting book explaining about many births and deaths that happen in a short period of a person's life. There are too many graphic details that I didn't ejoy reading about and it was very sad. There were some comical aspects of this book too that I did enjoy. Overall is was a good book only is you enjoy reading about very detailed real life situtations.
