***IF YOU HAVE NOT YET FINISHED READING THE PIGMAN, OR YOU ARE NOT IN MR. T'S CLASS DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!!!!!***
(That is if you care enough about not spoiling the book when you actually do read it.)
The Pigman was an awesome book. I knew from the first few pages (you know, when John writes on the desk?), that I was going to like this book. I didn't think that I was going to like John very much though, and I thought that Lorraine was actually kind of annoying. I didn't think that I would actually like the book much because I liked the characters, but I thought that I would like the book because of the way it was written, or maybe I'd just like it because of the plotline. I wasn't sure, but I knew that it was going to be a good book, and as soon as Mr. Pignati was introduced I was sure that I would like him as a character.
One of the main reasons I liked this book so much was because of all of the motifs. The pigs, the baboons, smiling faces, every little thing that you wouldn't normally pay attention too was put in the book for a reason. The best part of the book, or so I thought, was when Mr. Pignati goes to the Zoo with them for the last time, and he dies after he finds that Bobo's cage is empty. It shows that there was a symbolic bond between Bobo and Mr. Pignati, and it helps show one of the greater themes to the story. We are all like baboons. "They build their own cages."
I swear, that book was so amazing. I loved it. John was definitely my favorite character mostly because he was such a well developed character it was like he was a real person, but a lot of his personality didn't really show until the last chapter of the book. The part of his personality that he kept hidden, the part that he didn't use. I love how deep he gets in the last chapter. All the things that didn't seem to matter through out the book were put to light, and you see a different part of John that no one had seen before.
I love this book, and if you read this journal without reading the book, even though I warned you, I strongly recommend that you read The Pigman, because it is an amazing book.

If anyone happens to have a copy of the sequel to The Pigman, I think it's the Pigman's Legacy? If anyone would please lend me a copy I would love you forever!!!!!!!
