Review Detail

The Pigman is a memorial epic written by two sophomores in high school. There names are John and Lorraine.

One day when John and Lorraine are making prank calls with two other boys in their grade they dial Angelo Pignatis phone number and this is how they meet him. Lorraine is the one who picks his phone number. She pretends to be a charity worker and he offers her $10. 

John and Lorraine go to collect the money the next day, but the man is lonely and he them wants to go to the zoo the following day. When they decide to go with him to the zoo they find out that his best friend is a baboon named Bobo and feel sorry for him. He loves Bobo a lot and goes to visit him every day and feeds him peanuts.

They continue to go to the zoo with him every day and they become friends. Their friendship is an unusual one and everyone looks down on them. They like to do all kinds of stuff that other people find weird, they eat weird things such as snails and chocolate covered ants. Mr. Pignati likes to spend money on them and Lorraine feels guilty about it.

I think this is good book and recommend it for most ages.
