Summary: Outstanding
Review: I originally read The Pigman in ninth grade for a class assignment, but I liked it so much that I bought it. It is an interesting tale about fifteen-year-old best friends John Conlan and Lorraine Jensen and their bizarre escapades. The escapades come about upon meeting with 50-year-old Angelo Pignati, later nicknamed The Pigman, who appears to be something of a child in an adult's body. John and Lorraine spend time with him while secretly comparing that lifestyle to their own, and during that time they find themselves in unexpected, tense situations.The only problem with this book is that the first few chapters give away a very crucial happenstance that takes place toward the end of the book. It doesn't ruin the book or anything, but I think it would have been better if we just led ourselves to that conclusion by reading the book thoroughly. Still, this is a very good piece of literature.

Summary: The Pigman Review
Review: This book is kinna dry by quite relatable.It shows reality in a teenagers life and the sadness of becoming old.The so called "harsh" language and intelligent writing was mediocre and not very advanced.The inevitable "friends or more-than-friends" scenario comes into play and is even acted on later on in the book.I think this book overall was OK and deserves 3 stars.

Summary: A strange but good tale!
Review: This book first set me off. The beginning is a little strange. It's gets a little confusing when the main characters, Lorraine and John, take turn writing the book. The book is based on their experiences with the Pigman or Mr. Pignati. They refer to him as the Pigman because of his last name of course. They meet the Pigman when they're playing phone races with a few of their friends. At first is was just a game, but then they decided to be friends with the Pigman. The Pigman need the kids because he's a lonely old man who recently suffered a loss. I loved this book. It's a wonderful book about two kids and how an old man helped them grow up.

Summary: ...
Review: Before being bored to death, you should read "The Pigman" by Paul Zindel.
It deals with the friendship between an old man and two youngsters, which grows and finally takes a sad turn.
Although we think, that the author Paul Zindel is able to imagine how others feel, probably the topic wouldn't really interest teenagers.
Moreover you can't find much action in this novel.
We also dislike the settings where it takes place.
Either Lorraine and John, the two main characters, meet the Pigman at home or they visit the zoo together. All in all you can say that it isn't absolutely necessary to have read the book.

Summary: The book was not what I had expected!!!
Review: "The Piman" is a book which shows how a relationship between the older and younger generations can grow and work. If you are interested in such a subject the book is just written or you.
But for me it's not a real interestin book, because I feel it is completely without action!!! While reading the book, I hoped nearly all the time, that the action was about to start now. And when it started, it lasted only a few lines. Then the author changed the topic to continue with the most boring stories about the characters you can't imagine. Sometimes I wondered, what the additional information that the author gives the reader had to do with the rest of the story.
So when you want to spend a day with interesting books, don't begin the reading- day with "The Pigman", because it would only destroy your enjoyment at reading!!!!
Rating: 
Summary: Not so recommendable
Review: In our opinion the book isn't so recommendable, because there isn't so much action in it. Because of that it is sometimes a little bit boring. Moreover don't like books without a happy ending and the Pigman is an open ended story . Also we think that the book isn't about a topic , which interests youngsters at this age . But when you have too much time and don't know what to do , you could read it. .

Summary: The worst book of the world !!...
Review: "The Pigman" by Paul Zindel is one of the most boring books I've ever read.There's no action ,only a description of interpersonal relations.At the beginning of the book the reader gets to know the end ,this causes ,that you are not suprised about the tragic destiny of one of the main characters - Mr Pignati. Two youngsters try to become adults , to find their own way in life and in society , although they come from families , in which there are lots of problems . The writer doesn't succeed in presenting this in an interesting manner , you almost fall asleep while reading "The Pigman" . This book is a typical one for teenagers . It deals with problems of youngsters , friendship , love and loneliness . Te book tries to give you advice for your life . The only advice I give you : NEVER BUY THIS BOOK , IT'S A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY !...

Summary: Review to "The Pigman" by Paul zindel
Review: The book "The Pigman" by Paul Zindel is a book for teenagers. There you learn something about the problems which the main characters have. The main characters are the teenagers John and Loraine and the old men Mr. Pignati which is also called the " The Pigman". This novel is based on a true event. Paul Zindel talks about his specific moments in his life. When I have the chance to choose this book and another book I will choose the another book, because "The Pigman" have no action, but the characters are good choose. There are some exciting moments but the most time the book is very boring. So when I were you I don't choose this book.

Summary: Right Mixture
Review: „The Pigman" is a very strange book about friendship and love. Even the ending is not the one, the reader would suppose such a book to have. But I think the characters are well-chosen. Lorraine and John, the main characters, have many differences, but that is the one thing, that made them such a good team. The story these pupils are telling is also easy to understand. It is not interesting indeed, but also not boring. It has the right mixture.
It is a nice teenage book, well written and easy to understand. But it is nothing for somebody, who expects action. It is just for someone, who wants to read a book and doesn't want to think.
