Summary: The pigman and me
Review: I read the book The Pigman and Me By paul zindel. This is the second book in the series that I have read, I enjoyed both very much.Each book in the series has its own separate caracters, story, and its own losson.
In this particular book the caracters are interesting. There are there are Betty and Paul who are the children, there is a mother who is a huge part of the story. The mother has a friend named Connie Vivona Who has twins named nicky and joey. The other caracters are nono Frankie and nono Mamie,who is the daughter of Connie Vivona. All the caracters are Italian.
The story is being told in retrospect by paul. Most of the story is taking place in Travis, Staten Island when they were living there.
The story tells of them when they were teenagers and didnt have any money. They would move from house to house when the rent was due. They had many finantial and emotional strugles. They learn about friendships,confidence and the importance of helping each other.
You will enjoy finding out the meaning of the pigman and who he is in the story.

Summary: Paul Zindel at the finest! This book is a masterpiece!
Review: I can't put this into words it was so great. All of the suspense, action, drama, and Zindel's sense of humor made this book great! He is probably the only man that can put an auto-biography into a teenage perspective. That is what makes this book so appealing.

Review: I thought this was a good book because it was interesting. It is about a boy, his mom, and sister. They share a house with a girl and her twin sons. The twins' grandfather becomes the boy's pigman. My favorite part was when Paul met the twins' grandfather. I liked this book because it was not boring and interesting. Like when Paul got in a fight with a kid from school and his sister saved him. I would recommend this book to young teens.

Summary: Starts out great, but...
Review: If you want to feel good at the end of a story, this is not the book for you. It's a fascinating glimpse into the real life of an author, and it's a neat exploration into a time and region that no longer exists. But the end of the book, in it's honesty, makes you feel kind of sad and cynical. Hmm bummer.

Summary: Read this review
Review: If you would like to read a confusing and a all right book you should read the Pigman and Me by Paul Zindel. In the book the Pigman is a "Person who can see everything you can do and he will be there for you when you need him the most." The Pigman is like your guardian angel. Paul is another character in the story. He is a boy that has no father but has a mother that is a little disabled and moves around to different places a lot. He looks up to a person named Nonno Frankie. He is a person who lives with Paul and Paul's mother. Paul lives with his mom and Nonno Frankie at Victory Boulevard. It doesn't say exactly where he lives in the story. I gave this book 3 stars because the book got really boring during the last half of it.

Summary: The REAL Pigman-Revealed!
Review: Readers of Paul Zindel's young adult novels, especially The Pigman, will enjoy reading about the difficulties he and his sister endured growing up with a single mother in New Jersey in the 40's and 50's. After his mother takes in a roommate with 2 young sons, Zindel is exposed to the boys' grandfather, who becomes a surrogate father, a grown-up playmate, an inspiration, and a support to him as he struggles with his coming of age, his mother's strange schemes, and his own insecurities. As he shares his adventures with his pigman, Nonno Frankie, and his best friend, Jennifer, Zindel reveals the source of his humor and the basis for many of his stories and characters. Younger readers will find his light touch and reslience in dealing with difficulty a source of strength. A great introduction to this author and to the memoir genre.
