Summary: The "Pigman"?!? The title tells how lame the book is.
Review: I merely read this book because i had to for a class assignmeant.It was my second time trying to read the book with some kind of enjoyment.I thought that this book was one of the worst books ever written by Paul Zindel.By the time i got to the climax of the story i was exited not because of suspence just because i was soo... happy that the story was almost over.The book didnt teach me anything but that you cant pretend that your problems arent there because one day they will hit you dead in your face.

The next day they went to pick up the money from the man who lived nearby, finding him very sweet and funny. He was also giving and very honest to the kids. But soon enough the teenagers find out the shocking secret of Mr. Pignati's past and soon discover his future. A great book for teenagers. It really describes the realistic life of two different teenagers.

Summary: A truly amazing book. It relates to how teens feel.
Review: I just got done reading "the pigman" by Paul Zindel, for my Freshmen Honors English class. It was a fantastic story that relates to how teenagers cope with emotions and it is an overall great story. I can't think why anyone would give this book any lower than a 5 star rating.

Summary: More serious literature?
Review: The Amazon article entitled "kicking the horror habit" by one Patty Cambell lists this garbage as an introduction to more "serious" literature. How foolish of us to think that Edgar Allan Poe & Bram Stoker & Stephen King were not serious compared to this womans choices.Patty Campbell is the young adult columnist for Horn Book magazine and the editor of Twayne's Young Adult Author Series and Scarecrow's Studies in YA Lit.

Summary: It's a good book, just not for me . . .
Review: This was a well written book. I can say that many people will benifit from reading it. There are certain parts in it, actually, that I almost cried during. Yet, I don't feel that it is the best book I have ever read, but it's definitely not the worst by far!

Summary: Read this book it is wicked exciting and COOL!
Review: The book I'm reviewing is called "The Pigman" by Paul Zindel. This book involves a boy named John and a girl named Lorraine and a old man who they called The Pigman. This story starts out when John and Lorraine spend there time playing tricks on people. One time when they were walking down the street they see a old house and walk over to it. They think its abandoned so they walk in. In there they find a very old man and the man keeps repeating "Go away." The next day they come back and bring the man some chocolates. The man seems happy and tells him his name. My favorite part in the story is when they all go roller blading in a store. It was very funny.In the end you who is the Pigman's only friend I won't tell you now but if you would like to find out read the book. I would recommend that if you love books you should read this one. Ô¿ô ©
