4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, April 15 2001
By Kimball L Dixon (Westmead, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pork (Paperback)
Pork and Others is one of my favorite books. The language is spare and crisp, the structure of each story is logical and well-constructed, but even so, they take you by surprise. Freddi proves himself a masterful writer, but best of all, a gifted story-teller, clear of sentimentality, who places you in the forest, seeing the world from a vole's-eye view. Freddi's world may not be a pretty place, but it is challenging and invigorating. Bambi-lovers will hate it, intelligent and sophisticated readers will cherish it. I hope he writes more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A chiling, thought provoking book, Aug 26 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Pork (Paperback)
Pork is a collection of short stories about animals living in the forest. It is an in depth look at nature and how it could be perceived if the animals had personalities. The stories can be quite chilling and disturbing. Sometimes, the meaning of each story is not clear, but you will find it if you look hard enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda makes you think, Jun 2 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Pork (Paperback)
This is quite an interesting book of short stories. It warns that some of the stories are violent - and this is kind of the case. The first stories really have no point to them. But I found as the book went on, the stories got better.

But as for these animals talking and having personalities - I found it quite hard to sink in. Nonetheless - it was well worth a read if there is nothing better to do on a rainy day. The other advantage of books like these is that the stories are short and only take a maximum of 30 minutes to read (depending on speed).
