The Pigman

De: Paul Zindel

Narrado por: Eden Riegel, Charlie McWade

One of the best-selling young-adult books of all time.

John Conlan is nicknamed “The Bathroom Bomber” after setting off firecrackers in the boys’ bathroom 23 times without ever getting caught. John and his best friend, Lorraine, can never please their parents, and school is a chore. To pass the time, they play pranks on unsuspecting people, and it's during one of these pranks that they meet the “Pigman”. In spite of themselves, John and Lorraine soon get caught up in Mr. Pignati’s zest for life. In fact, they become so involved that they begin to destroy the only corner of the world that has ever mattered to them. Can they stop before it’s too late?

Zindel's groundbreaking, best-selling tour de force was one of the first young-adult books ever written and has been taught in classrooms for over 40 years. It includes a fascinating interview with the author, Paul Zindel.

One of my top 5

What made the experience of listening to The Pigman the most enjoyable?

it really brought back memories from jr high, It was one of the only books i liked reading then.

What about Eden Riegel and Charlie McWade ’s performance did you like?

the voice actors had real depth to them and really brought the characters to life.

The Pigman is a must read

Everyone whether a teenager or an adult should read this book. This book shows how life as a teenager can be difficult and to always judge a book by it’s cover. Also jt shows just because someone acts a certain way doesn’t mean they are mean.

Must Read For High Schoolers

This book is excellent for high school age kids. It is engaging and thought provoking.

Excellent way to teach point of view

Awesome narration. Students get to see two points of view and have a clear description of Lorraine and John's characterization. Narration is done by a male and female that do an excellent portrayal of the characters they represent. I highly recommend it.

Just Amazing.

I first read this book in middle school. I've loved it ever since. now with the narration by Eden Riegel and Charlie McWade, I've fallen in love all over again. To my surprise, it had an accompanying interview with Mr. Zindel himself. I highly recommend this version to anyone.
