The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood by Sy Montgomery

3.0

This book was charming but slight, sometimes more of a slog than it had any right to be. Montgomery's insistent antisocialness at the beginning was tiring, but it ebbed by the end and thus became more tolerable. Honestly, I often found myself more intrigued by the mid-book descriptions of her other writings than by the very book I was reading, which is pretty awkward.

All in all, this is a wholly pleasant, enjoyable read. It's light and airy and feels like a great book to read on the beach or something, just something to keep you from snoozing. (Which is not a slam, by the way!!) Also there is an almost hilariously high prevalence of cancer so be on the lookout for that.
