The Pigman is a book filled with life lessons. All the lessons you will learn by reading this story will lead up to main one in the end. I really learned a lot by reading this book. So you probably will too. In The Pigman two high school students named John and Lorraine play a prank and they let it get out of hand. That is how they met the pigman (Mr. Pignati). They become good friends with him. Then one day they betray him in many different ways.

John and Lorrain were having a telephone marathon and Lorrain picked out Mr.Pignatis name because he only lived a few blocks away. Lorrain was talking to Mr.Pignati as a charity worker and asked him to donate some money to her charity. Mr.Pignati wanted them to come over and collect the money and when John and Lorrain got there they discovered that he was a very lonely man and he collected pigs. That is how he got his nick name The Pigman. So John and Lorrain kept coming back to Mr.Pignati house.

The Pigman, Lorrain, and John was roller skating threw the house. The Pigman stopped and looked at John he was having a heart attack.


John called 911 because Lorrain was in shock and an ambulance came and got Mr.Pignati. When Mr.Pignati was in the hospital John and Lorrain had a party in the Pigmans house and accidently broke the pig collection he had. When Mr.Pignati got home he saw that his pig collection had been broken and he banished them from his house. After this happened Mr.Pignati died. and John and Lorrain understands life now.

I thought this book is pretty good. I would recommend this book to pretty much anybody.

Even though that John and Lorraine took advantage of the old man they still keep him company.

I think that this was an ok book and anyone that likes a funny and exciting story should read The Pigman

There are these two kids that make fun of a guy called the Pigman.

The main points are that the kids make fun of the Pigman and that they do a prank on him. They told him that they are doing a fund raiser to help lownely kids and they ask him for money and he said that he would give them 10 dollars for the fond raiser.

They get the money and then they fill bad that they took the money from him and they wanted to give it back but he wouldnt take it so they kept the money.

So I think that pranking that The Pigman was wrong I think that they should not have pranked The Pigman it was really wrong.

I think that what they did was bad and that they should of got ponished. If you want to know what happens next youll half to read the book to find out what happens next.

  My review is on the book The Pigman.  It was written by Paul Zindel and is 222 pg long.

    This story is set in a small town somewhere in America and in school called Franklin High School. The main characters are Lorraine, John, and Mr. Pignati. Some of the less essential characters are Lorraines mother and Johns parents. The story begins with the reminiscing of John and Lorraine about their friendship with Mr. Pignati and how they became friends themselves.

    As the story takes off they immediately inform you about the bad choices they made and the things they know they should and should have not done to Mr. Pignati. When Mr. Pignati has a sudden heart attack John and Lorraine realize how much they really love and miss Mr. Pignati

    In my opinion I didnt like the book. The problem I had with the book was the immorality that the book contained. In the book John drinks smokes and doesnt have respect for his parents or other people. For some reason in the book Lorraine and John are able to do what they want without having to answer to anyone. The ending was really sad and that just isnt something I like. 

     The story does leave you hanging for a while and is exiting, but Id watch letting young children read the book though

  This book was about two friends John and Lorraine come across and old man and become friends.

 

   When the teens become friend the kids find out that he had no children and his wife had died. Then they felt sorry for the old man and they hung around so he would have some company. Then one day he asked them to go to the zoo and they said ok so they went to the zoo with him and there was a baboon that he talks to. Then one day they found out that the baboon had died. Then the old man got depress then he went to the hospital while he was in the hospital they had a party in the house and they broke one of the pig statue and then the old man got upset and then not to long after the old man die.

 

 I thought this was a ok book but I think that it was mean to play that prank on the old man and they broke there oath and then they made him be depressed

 

 It was about the two teenagers making friends with an old man and the old man dies at the end when the teenagers broke the oath, and the baboon dies too.

 

  I thought this the book overall was a good book because the teenagers made a new friend but at the end the old man dies and the baboon does too. Then the teenagers feel bad that they kidded let him die.

The Pigman is about this boy and girl who are friends, and they hate school. The boys name is John and the girls name is Lorraine. The two kids play a prank on the phone and they call this old man named Pignati. They say they are a charity.

The story takes place at Mr. Pignatis house. John and Lorraine go to his house to pick up the charity money that the Pigman is giving to the kids.

John and Lorrain and Pigman are roller skating through the house and Pigman drops                                                                                 Mr. Pigman goes to the hospital and then comes home to his pig collection broken. Then the kids go to the zoo with Pigman to see Bobo and Bobo died and then Pigman dies.                                       The story is told from two points of view. One chapter is told from Lorraines point and the next chapter is told from Johns point of view. I think it was good how they did it so you can get both sides if the story.
