A heart wrenching story of growing up.

I first started reading this book in 10th grade. My friends found this book to be completely boring and this book happen to banned for some particular reason. I think these people completely misunderstood the book. This book is really amazing. From the very first page, it captures you. It is a really captivating book. I found myself crying over and over again. I loved the way Robert Newton Peck usess his words. I could actually feel the emotions of the character's. I cried during sad times and laughed during the fun times. Your emotions seems to go along with our main character, Robert. I really loved the relationship between Robert, Haven and Pinky. This is an outstanding book. Its really heartwrenching and I had a really good time reading it. You guys should give this book a try. I'm positively sure that you will enjoy it.

A Day No Pigs Would Die

I thought the book was good. I had different feelings about this book because sometimes I laughed and sometimes I nearly cried. I thought that my parents were hard on me, but I don't have to wake up every morning and do chores. I would not like to be in Roberts shoes. I felt sorry for Robert because he lost his only pet. I thought it was funny when Pinkey was chasing the frog. I think Robert was scared when the hawk came down at full speed because he thought it was going to hit him. Before I read this book, I didn't know about the Shaker way of life. Now I do. I did not know how you could tell a pig was in heat until I read this book. I am looking forward to reading the sequel - A Part Of The Sky.

Review:

I am very suprised at the bad reviews I belive the only reason for bad reviews is because some dont understand the REAL lives of early shakers...This is a great book and i hope people read it and i suggest reading the sequal after you read this book.I am thirteen and am mature enough to read the book and understand the important moral the story teaches.I reccomend this book to teen readers and adult readers because the book glues you to its pages and puts you in real life situations.

P.S. some of you reviewers need to grow up!

A Day No Pigs Would Die is a compelling book. It's extremely sad

A Day No Pigs Would Die is a compelling book. It's extremely sad and heart breaking to read. I definitely cried toward the end. As a vegetarian and animal lover, it was very hard to read some of the passages here. That doesn't take away the amazing story of compassion and endurance in this novel.

While I am certainly surprised by the low ratings of this book, I can understand it. The themes and descriptions in this story could easily be considered controversial. But they are realistic. They are not meant to shock or to provoke. This is real life. The author doesn't sugar coat the grim realities of a Shaker family.

Again, I am impressed by how certain authors can write so much in such few pages. There are so many descriptions and emotions in this book. I definitely recommend this novel to young adults and adults alike.

4.5 stars, which rounds to 5 stars.

I Couldn't Put It Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, there is so much I could say about A Day No Pigs Would Die. Robert Peck did an amazing job writing this unbelievable novel. I read the whole thing in one day because it was so filled with elaborate details it was so interesting. I loved how it could easily be read because of the way the author put the storyline together. It was so nice to finally find a book that displayed a special family bond between a son and , not only his parents, but his pets as well. I have a pet of my own so this was easy to relate to. This is just an allaround wonderful book.

The Best Book

I liked this boook because at the end of each chapter it left me wondering what would happen next. The book helped me understand how much some people were so much in touch with their Religion. It also taught me about life back then. This book is also very moving.
