Review: Hi, i had to read this book for english class. I thought it was going to be horrible. But, as it turned out I thought it was a very good book. It had similar situations that some people could go through.

Rating:
Summary: It wasn't excellent but it wasn't bad either.
Review: I had to read The Pigman for my English class. At first i thought the book was horrible but towards the end it grew on me. I especially liked the ending.I think kids ages 13-18 should read this book and see how you like it for yourself. You can't always go by what another person says.

Summary: I was amazed that I had to read it for my Leap class.
Review: A book really full of despair and reality. This book reminds me of how many bad things there are in my life. I was surprised that in my advanced reading class I had to read it. It can't be classified as any exact type of book but I do have to give Paul Zindel credit for originality though. Overall I think people are overreacting on the bad content but it is really meant for kids over 13 years of age.It was an ok book to me but I have read alot better ones. This is probably one of Paul Zindels worst books.

Summary: this was an intresting story
Review: I've read better books then this. But it was actually not a bad story it was really sad though the book is sort of slow but it's like I said the whole entire story line is good.A great book for teenagers. It really describes the realistic life of two different teenagers.

Summary: Very Funny
Review: This book has many funny parts in it, some that almost made me laugh out loud (I'm in eigth grade). I bought this book for reading class (a requirement) and Excels started again, so I was moved back into Excels (think reading honors)and didn't have to get the book after all. Well, I decided to read it anyways and found it pretty good. You'll get a kick out of it!

Summary: I think it was a good book for people around the age of 13
Review: It was a good book and I encourage young people to read it

Rating:
Summary: A great book with characters that you can relate to.
Review: The Pigman is an awsome book! It is about two teenagers who meet this old man and find out what friendship really means to someone. I give it 5 stars because I could really relate to the characters. Throwing a huge party like they did seems like something I would want to do. Also the old man seems just like my technology teacher and whenever I read the book I think about him. I think if you like fiction books dealing with people's problems you should really read this. I know I am going to read the sequal's The Pigman's Legacy and The Pigman and Me when I get a chance.

Summary: Since Columbine book should be banned from public schools
Review: I am so disgusted by this book for several reasons: two nineth grade loners that think it's funny to blow up bathrooms with homemade bombs, lie, get drunk, swear. Give me a break. This book was brought home by my daughter to read and I read it. I told the principle of the school about the directions to make a bomb in the first chapter. He hit the roof and said he's taking action to remove the book. After Columbine and all the school violence, NO RESPONSIBLE TEACHER SHOULD BE USING THIS BOOK FOR "GOOD LITERATURE"> It's also terribly written and immoral.

Rating:
Summary: It isn't the best book but isn't totally boring either
Review: I've read better books then this. But it was actually not a bad story it was really sad though the book is sort of slow but it's like I said the whole entire story line is good. I think it really shows what some teens that have parents that care but just don't understand need a person to play around with and a person that is forgiving and that cares. The book is alright if your looking for sort of a slow mellow book this is the book for you.
