The Pigman's Legacy

Summary: John and Lorraine Do It Again
Review: The Pigman's Legacy is a book about two high school students who are trying to reconcile thier failed efforts to save the Pigman by trying to help another old man. They meet and man in the same old house the Pigman was in. John and Lorraine have some adventurous times with this old man. They grow just as close to him as they did the Pigman. This book is a very good book. I think Paul Zindel did a very good job of keeping the characters pretty much the same but making them seem more mature. The only thing he could have changed was the ending. I would recommend this book. Any person who has read the first Pigman book should read The Pigman's Legacy. It is the first sequel that I have read that I liked as well as the original.

Summary: A moving story, for all lovers of the original Pigman.
Review: The sequal of "The Pigman" at first looks totally uncalled for, and has the same basic plot. But at a second look you will see that this book, still staring John and Lorranie, has the same moving emotianal plot. This time, changing charactor build. The "Pigman" of the story is a grumpy old man running from the IRS hiding in the Pigman's house. This is a complete change from the friendly, welcoming, old portraid in the original Pigman. It has the same good humor and charactors. Zindel, again, works the reader into a huge mess of couping with problems. This book, I would give a PG-13 rating. It deals more with Sex and drinking the the original Pigman. It goes up and down, from happy points, when the old man is having fun for the first time in a casino, to sad points, when John spends all the money the old man won. Be prepared to cry at the end, with the same type of sad ending. A exelent book for lovers of the original Pigman. WARNING: NOT TO BE READ, UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE ORIGINAL!!!!!

Summary: A great follow-up
Review: This book is a terrific follow-up to The Pigman. Thankfully, it was not a carbon copy of it, although it did include some o fthe same elements: a lonely old man who the teens befriend. The conclusion involving John and Lorraine is extremely satisfying for anyone who, like me, wanted more than the last book provided.

Summary: outstanding
Review: This book was so good that i could never put it down. I read this book for a test in school and i got every question right! Paul Zidel is a great author and one of my favorites. This story basically ends what the first Pigman story didnt. It can teach children lots of important morals in life by John and Lorraines experiances. The way that this story is written is almost like watching a movie in the theaters. Believe me it takes alot to have sit and read a book. I would of never found reading interesting if it wasnt for this book!

Summary: Bittersweet
Review: This sequel couldn't quite surpass "The Pigman",but it came close. At first I didn't want to read it because the reviews made it sound boring,but trust me,it's not! It's happier and less melancholy than the first book. The kids have matured,especially John. It's spiced up by Zindel's usual wacky storyline and wonderful writing. He understands teens much better than most adults. I won't give away too much,but this novel involves more romance. Weirdness binds a motley crue of people,including John and Lorraine,of course. I wish she would've featured more prominently. It seemed that John "wrote" more chapters. (And why do they like old people so much?) For those who appreciate humor and seriousness,sadness and joy,I highly reccomend this book.
