The Pigman


I know this is somewhat off topic but I've been wanting to discuss this for a longtime. I'm a fan of a lot of the late Mr. Zindel's works and in my opinion the Pigman remains not only his best novel, but also one of the most underrated books ever written. I would really like to see the Pigman made into a feature film one of these days. I'm disappointed nobody had ever considered making it into a film.
Some say it might not work on film but I would love to see somebody make it into a film and a good one at that. I'd already written something like this on the Paul Zindel message board but I had a feeling that nobody really goes there much so I felt I'd do the next best thing and go here. I'd love to see The Pigman come to the bigscreen. What does everybody else think?

Well, it has been a long time since you posted this but I have to say I agree, a favorite book of mine as a teenager, I can not see why it would not translate well to film?

I'm not sure it would translate to film either, but I'd certainly see it because "The Pigman" was one of my favorites books as an adolescent. I need to find another copy and read it again. Paul Zindel spoke to us nerdy kids everywhere (not that I'm making any assumptions about you).

I loved the Pigman as a kid. He really wrote for a different type of kid.
