Summary: The book lacks depth and adequate elaboration.
Review: A Day No Pigs Would Die is not elaborate on the correct areas in the book and lacks depth which causes the story to lose its appeal to readers. Though the story involoves details that may be alluring to the audience it is not placed in the right context. Despite the apprasial by other readers, I feel as though this novel is one that can be abnegated from your reading list.

Rating: 3 stars
