The book “The Pigman” written by Paul Zindel, Is a well written book that has different techniques that makes the story better. The kids are always at Mr. Pignati’s house where it is always messy and never fully cleaned. John and Lorraine are both sophomores who go to Franklin high in the 1960’s and Mr. Pignati is and old man their friends with. John and Lorriane become friends with an old man named Mr. Pignati. Mr. Pignati usually got heart attacks and when his best friend who is a monkey dies from a disease Mr. Pignati gets another heart attack and dies. The whole book was about John and Lorraine writing a book in school about the experience Yes I liked the book because there was never a time when something that was not interesting happening.
