The girl who liked The Boy Who Kicked Pigs,
By P. M (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boy Who Kicked Pigs (Hardcover)
This book is funny, witty and seriously macabre. Graphically depicting sibling tortures it also gives one the opportunity to laugh at the idiocy of the news media. All wrapped up in one neat package it's an expose of a disturbed boy with some wicked ideas. The end is not for the squeamish, but the well drawn pen and ink sketches accompanying the text make one feel they are watching an animated short as they read. I can't wait to share this with my friends and once annoying sister.

Hilarious book!,
By Bryan Schingle (Thornton, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boy Who Kicked Pigs (Hardcover)
Written by Doctor Who himself, this small book spins the tale of a violent, evil young boy who hates everything that he sees. It starts with his first instances of violence, and continues on until he meets fate.The book is funny, to say the least. Dry British humor keeps the pace going, and for anyone familiar with Tom Baker, you can almost hear him narrating the book as you read it. I would love to see a cartoon made out of this!

Black Humor Disguised as a Kid's Book,
By David (Alexandria, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boy Who Kicked Pigs (Hardcover)
The book is written as a children's story about a very nasty little boy. It is grotesquely funny through most of its short length, although it slips into being mostly gross in the last few pages. I could mentally hear most of it in Tom Baker's voice.
