The Pigman & Me Audiobook (Unabridged)

" It is very interesiting and funny, but a bit scary sometimes, too. "

" So far (I'm on about page 60), the book is sort of interesting, but a bit strange and disjointed. "

" Great story! Can't believe it's true. Better than his novels. "

" we read this book in class and it was funny "

" I read this book in high school for english and decided I wanted to reread it. I really enjoyed it. "

" An absolutely delightful and entertaning autobiography. It covers just a few adolescent years of the author's life and how those years influenced him for good. Realistic, interesting, and fun. It will take you back to middle school! "

" Good, but not as good as the original. "

" Reading it in Mrs.Shack's class. "

" Paul Zindel's autobiography! What a gem! Fun reading. "

" This book was very good and interesting. I liked it a lot. "

" The Pigman is so far my favorite of the YA books I have had to read for my library class in the fall. This book The Pigman and Me is a biographical version of The Pigman, it really shows how the author took his experience and played with it. If you like The Pigman this title is a fun experience. "

" hilarious and approachable--4th grade - adults. "

" If I was a bigger Paul Zindel fan, I might have been a little more enthused about this one. Just like his novels, this autobiographical work is full of teenage wit, sarcasm, and sensitivity. "

" Fast, easy read. I don't know if I would have read this for fun as a kid because I wasn't into memoirs back then, but I think it would be great to teach and I think teens would like it in that context. It's interesting how he found humor even in the challenging circumstances of his life. "

" I didn't learn what a pigman is but I enjoyed Zindel's memoirs of his teenage years. It was an entertaining and easy read. "

" this was a ok book it was a read aloud. "

" It was fascinating to learn about the factual background to the Pigman books. Zindel never talked down to or pulled punches with his young readers. I try to do this as a teacher, but he was definitely better at it. "

" This is a great book, and no its not about a man who's a pig. "

" Thought I would use this book as a companion for reading THE PIGMAN with my students. Not really finding material in this book that would complement the fictional story. "

" Read for middle school. I think I hated it. "

" Paul Zindel was one of my favorite authors in middle and high school, and this was one of my favorite books by him. Many of his books follow a bit of a formula, but this is the book that originated it, and in my opinion, it's the best one. "

" A great book, along with it's sequel that I read in high school and still love. "

" This is an older book, so it was ind of fun to see references to things long gone. It received a lot of praise and awards, but I wasn't that thrilled with it. Of course there is the lesson of being truthful and not taking advantage of people, but it wasn't strong enough. "

" this book was an okay book. "

" Very touching book.I liked it :) "

" For some reason, this is a good book to read in the winter. I forgot why since I read it so long ago. "

" The Pigman was an okay book, but it was just was a little boring. The book was about two kids who meet a man who is very lonely, and they become good friends "

" This book is a bit dated and the characters didn't ring entirely true. The author had an agenda: His themes include the impersonal nature of society, the generation gap, and other sort of musty ideas. But it was OK. "

" It was okay I guess I just didn't like the ending!. "
