reaction to "A Day No Pigs Would Die"

The story "A Day No Pigs Would Die" shows a jourany of manhood and a bound between father and son. The main character is named Rob and lives with his aunt, mother, and father on a farm. This is unusal because in times now you wouldn't usally see a 12 year old living with or having older parents, because his parents and aunt are in their sixty's and seventy's. This book also got you into it right away, which I thought was good, but it also means that this is not the kind of book little kids want to read. "A Day No Pigs Would Die" also has a strong voice that let's you feel what Rob felt thourgh out the story, which can help you understand this book better.
