Summary: Martyn Pig Review
Review: i liked the book Martyn Pig a lot. i liked it because it was different from al the other stories I've read before. I thoughtthis story would end with Martyn getting caught and taken to jail. But the ending was totally different!when it said that Alex ran a way and took all of Martyn's things, i thought he was going to tell the police and then they would go looking for her. But again I was wrong. Out library teacher read this book to us every week during library class. Many of the students couldn't wait until the next week to find out what happens next. this book was awesome, and i could read it again and again! I would reccommend people read this book. i give it a four-star rating.

Summary: Martyn Pig
Review: Martyn Pig is swimming in an unbearable life. It's not enough that the kids at school make pork jokes, he has to come home afterwards and deal with his alcoholic father and the fact that his mother left years ago. There's his awful Aunty Jean, who is out to try to prove that Martyn's father is unfit and to get Martyn to live with her. To add insult to injury, he has a crush on his neighbour, Alex, who's dating a creep named Dean. Things can't get any worse, right?The week before Christmas, Martyn's father dies accidentally. Martyn could go to the police, but he also knows there's a good chance the police will accuse him of committing murder. On the other hand, he can't just leave the body there to rot. He ends up conspiring with Alex to hide the body, which leads to even more deception, confusion, and intrigue. Mystery fans will welcome this first offering from British author Kevin Brooks. Martyn is believable as the unwilling loner, but by far the most interesting character is Alex, who shields her true self from Martyn and consequently the reader. The one complaint is that this book seems to have been unsuccessfully doctored to make it "understandable" to Americans. The conversations are filled with British phrases like "bloody awful," but money is discussed in terms of dollars rather than pounds. Overlooking these inconsistencies, Martyn Pig is sure to appeal to those interested in eliminating the impossible, looking over the improbable remains and finding the truth.

Summary: Suspense, Black Comedy and Teen Elements
Review: I read Martyn Pig from beginning to end in a brethless rush. It was a suspense novel with the perfect mix of black comedy and teen elements thrown in. The story chronicles a teenage boy, Martyn, dealing with his father's sudden death. Martyn's dad was a runthless abusive drunk, so the death dosen't really upset him at first. After weaving a web of lies to cover up what really happened, Martyn and his friend Alex find themselves caught up in a mystery much like the dective stories Martyn loves so much. It's an intricately woven book that you won't forget long after you put it down. Brooks writes with much honesty and intregity, making it feel like you're in right in the story. From the beginning to the end the book is facinating and memorable.
