The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood by Sy Montgomery
4.0
A very sweet book about a pet pig who touches the lives of the author, her husband, and most of her little town. Color photo section really helps give a feel for the pig and his family.
I had a hard time with some of Montgomery's dealings with her parents (they are the definition of asshole - basically disowning their daughter upon her marriage - which isn't really even the worst of it.) While I appreciate her sentiments as she tries to accept them for who they are, it's just tough to swallow - but does help explain why the author has always felt more comfortable around animals!
And while I look forward to reading more of Montgomery's books, I did find some of her comments about those books and the travels they involved a little out of place here.
Despite these two minor, and mostly personal, defects, I would recommend this for folks who love animals and feel-good tales.
