What is the Pig Man?
Date of Review: Jul 8, 2000
The Pigman? Does it sound interesting or does it not? When I first picked it up I didn't think it would be interesting? I was reading and reading and while I was reading I thought it was very interesting. So do you really know what the title means?
The Pigman by Paul Zindel has three main characters Mr. Pignati,
Bobby, and Loraine. Bobby, Loraine, and a couple of their friends usually prank call people and one day they picked the wrong person to mess with and it turned out to be that Loraine and Bobby lied to Mr. Pignati so they had to face the consequences.
Mr. Pignati's wife loved pigs before she died. Everyday after that Mr. Pignati goes to the zoo until one of his best friends died; Bobo the monkey was his friend once Mrs. Pignati died. That caused the first heart attack. Read to find out if this is the end of the heart attacks.
When they all became friends, Bobby and Loraine were invading Mr. Pignati's space. Then one day he Mr. Pignati was in the hospital and Bobby and Loraine decided to have a party at his house and they had picked the wrong day to have it because something very shocking has occurred, but you will have to read to find out more and what happens.
I really enjoyed this book. Another book you should read is The Undertakers Gone Bananas. Which this book was also written by Paul Zindel and very similar to The Pigman.
I would reccomend this book to teenagers and young adults even though it is easy to read. I would reccomend it to them more because at the party there is alcohol and smoking going on.
