Have you read the Pigman?

Question

My world literature class just got finished analyzing it and I'd like some feedback from other people...

Answer 1

I read it in secondary school about 11 years ago, but all I can remeber about it was the fact that whoever designed the cover used a very poorly disguised picture of George Harrison as his inspiration! Sorry, I don't suppose thats particularly helpful......

Answer 2

Answer 3

I'm surprised you read this in WORLD literature class.What was the basis of that? Paul Zindel wrote The Pigman, and although he was my husband's uncle, I did not meet him face to face. The Pigman is just another of his quirky young-adult books with a great message. Now you should read THE PIGMAN AND ME which is actually Paul Zindel's autobiography. He writes about his own "pigman" and his own zany life.

What type of analysis are you looking for?

Answer 4

Well, you can see some reviews (by young adults) of the book at the links below.
I taught an excerpt from it (I haven't read the whole book) and I thought it was quite good.
