Those who read The Pigman
I read the original book, The Pigman in grade school. I liked the story but hated having to write essays about it. I hate studying books. So when contemplating reads for the 2nds challenge, I remembered that I had always wanted to read the other books about The Pigman, (there is also The Pigman and Me which I intend to read.)

I think Zindel is one of the best YA writers. It breaks my heart that my students won't get into him. His characters seem like such real teenagers--they're flawed and trying too hard to grow up and not always conscious of others' feelings. Also, his books manage to be hilarious and tragic at once. John and Lorraine have had to learn some pretty tough lessons, but they made me laugh on the way.
Please give a Zindel book to a teenager; I'm terrified he's going to fade away.

I think I like this one more than the first one. I'm about ten pages in, though...And I was a little disappointed with the fact that this book exists at all, since it kind of undermines the impact of the Pigman to keep writing about him. The first book was kind of overkill-y enough in its writing. But still.

Ok so i just finished this book, and like the first one it didn't dissapoint me. I had forgotten a few thing's that happened in this one so i was somewhat surprised. I can also see now why i enjoyed them so much as a teen...

It was pretty good, but not as good as the the original. This book's a lot shorter too.
