Product Description

From Amazon.com

For sophomores John and Lorraine, the world feels meaningless; nothing is important. They certainly can never please their parents, and school is a chore. To pass the time, they play pranks on unsuspecting people. It's during one of these pranks that they meet the "Pigman"--a fat, balding old man with a zany smile plastered on his face. In spite of themselves, John and Lorraine soon find that they're caught up in Mr. Pignati's zest for life. In fact, they become so involved that they begin to destroy the only corner of the world that's ever mattered to them. Originally published in 1968, this novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Zindel still sings with sharp emotion as John and Lorraine come to realize that "Our life would be what we made of it--nothing more, nothing less." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

-- SLJ.

"Intensely moving story of believable alienated young people." --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

This review is from: The Pigman

I just finished reading the Pigman and it was a great book. I really do recomend it to many young people. When I got to some good chapters, I just did not want to put the book down! I guess I enjoyed reading this book because it really relates to some people. John and Lorraine didn't like high school and they tell their lives like they really are.
I really enjoyed reading "The Pigamn," and I hope you do, too!

This review is from: The Pigman

it was the worst book i have ever read.it is narraited by john and lorrine. they both take turns every other chapter. the two who are best friends, wanted to write down their experience with the pigman before they would forget them. the pigman was a nickname they gave mr. pignati, an old man whoese retired. the way the came in contact with the man was by calling him up. the teenagers were playing a phone game n called the lonely old man and who invited them over in a heartbeat. this is how their friendship started. they end up bonding with the pigman and they always go to the zoo with the old man to see his best friend bobo the babboon. even tho i didnt like this story by paul zindle- there r many themes in this book that are important such as dont abuse ur friendship, respect elders, or ur choices today affect ur choices tomorrow.
i dont recomend this book at all. they tell u the ending in the beginign which just spoils it. but as u read it u sort of forget that it happenes and when it does u go o yea! n then its the end-its just leaves u hanging. so then u have to read the 2nd book called the pigman's legacy. i only read that book only because i wanted to know wut happened to john and lorriane. the 2nd book is sort of like the 1st book only with new characters and a semi different plot. basiclly i didnt like this book at all and dont recomend that u read it
