Summary: What happened after The Pigman died?
Review: How did John and Lorraine's life change after this experience? It started out pretty good. John gave up drinking and started smoking spinach (spinach?) cigarettes at Lorraine's urging. John and Lorraine yell at anyone who's mean to the lunch lady. But their lives are still going nowhere. They meet another old man and try to do it over the right way this time but it's just not the same. The new old man is cranky and rude, the kids aren't really needed in this story as the lunch lady befriends the old man and takes care of everything. The Game of Life was interesting but that's about it.
It definately did not feel like you were stepping into a teen's world. It just seemed like a grown up who had fond memories of drinking, smoking, swearing, cutting class, driving crazy and has major gambling problems (He also has fantasies that he could meet a nice girl who would be fine with all this). This sequel to The Pigman was totally unbelievable and I would reccommend that you skip this book and write your own sequel, I know it would be better than this one.
John and Lorraine's relationship stays respectable. The word sex is mentioned a lot but not as it relates to John and Lorraine. I would agree that the book would be rated PG-13.

Summary: The pIGMAN
Review: I find this book to be very well written. I also think The Pigman is a very sad book that could bring out strong emotion from any reader. This is not one of the books I would normally read but it did impress me. Even though I liked the book, I would not consider The Pigman to be one of my all time favorite books. This book started out slowly, and I had to keep my eyes from drifting off the page, but by the time the major conflicts had been revealed, I could not put the book down.

Summary: balah and blah and blah
Review: I hate how this story is an exact mirror of the first story. No details, two stupid teenagers that are always getting tragically mixed up with dying old men, and the only new element,: A crazy lunch lady with weird style
Rating:
Summary: Touching and simply beautiful
Review: I hate sequels and seconds. They usually never live up to the original, with the exception of The Godfather, Part II and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. This sequel to The Pigman is also another exception of the very few good seconds to a movie or book. Zindel again writes the book at the two teenager's point of view. They've come across another old man about four months after the last time they've seen Mr. Pignati. Soon they're on a car ride to Atlantic City, about to hit the big bucks. I feel that this book has just about the same kind of emotion and distinguishness as the first. Trust me --- you'll enjoy this book. Zindel wrote it straight from the heart.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I read the first book, The Pigman, and I really liked it. So when I went to the bookstore and found this book I decided to give it a try. It was a really good book. I was expecting it to be just like The Pigman, but it wasn't. It wasn't as sad as The Pigman and John and Lorraine changed since The Pigman took place(even though it was only four months). Anyway, if you havn't read the Pigman and you want to read this book, I still recomend it. The book doesn't require The Pigman to make sense.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I really enjoyed this book and the author's ability to mix comedy with drama to make a really pleasant read. Anyone who has read The Pigman will love this book, because although the Pigman was great this is even better.

Summary: G-R-E-A-T! Great Great Great!
Review: I thought that this book is very good and although I cannot stand sequels, I loved this one. Also the Pigman's Legacy is only good if you read the first book and then the second one. It was GREAT!

Summary: IT IS AN ENCHANTING BOOK!!!!!!!!!
Review: NOW, AT FIRST GLANCE ONE WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE CHANCE IS OF JOHN AND LORRAINE MEETING ANOTHER OLD MAN WOULD BE UNLIKELY ,BUT DESPITE THAT THIS BOOK SHINES. I LOVE IT !!! ZINDEL KEPT HIS SKILL FOR CHARMING CHARACTORS AND THIS BOOK ENDED HAPPIER THAN THE ORIGINAL PIGMAN . MAY BE PAUL ZINDEL GETS TIRED OF ADORING TEENAGERS LIKE MYSELF GOING ON ABOUT HIS BOOK OR MAY BE HE LOVES IT .EITHER WAY I HAD TO PRAISE THIS BOOK!!!!!

Summary: (4-1/2 stars) Even better than the first
Review: The Pigman is one of my favorite books, so of course I was ecstatic when I discovered that Paul Zindel wrote a followup. And it turns out that The Pigman's Legacy is even better. John and Lorraine have now turned sixteen and continue on zany adventures, as well as discussing the pros and cons of their own life. The only problem with this book is the same problem that came with the first book, and that is a very important outcome that is given away in the introduction (they call it "The Promise"). My suggestion is to skip the promise and go on with the rest of the book. You'll enjoy it.
