Leave the Money in Your Piggybank or Buy Something Else, August 24, 2005
This review is from: Piggy in the Middle (Paperback)
A few days ago I read Jink's novel Evil Genius which although a bit unrealistic was a pretty good and enthralling read. So I decided to check out her other books and picked up Piggy in the Middle but was disappointed that it was no where near the quality of Evil Genius. I was also disappointed that the epilogue which for some reason is at the start of the novel gives away the ending of the novel.
In Piggy in the middle Ron a kind but not the brightest guy in the world has lost his driver's licence and with that his job. His snobby fiancé Jacqui puts wedding plans on hold as she cannot marry someone working in the only job Ron can get without a licence which is cleaning animal pens at Agricultural and Biomedical Research Industries (ABR). Everyone else at ABR looks down on Dallas so he is rather grateful when one day he is befriended by child genius and rich kid Felix. In a desperate attempt to impress his only friend Felix lets Ron in on top secret information such as that Jibby one of the pigs he looks after has a partial human brain. Meanwhile equally low in intelligence Dallas under contract by ABR to shoot feral pigs and send them skin from the shot pig's ears discovers that the feral pigs are being wiped out by a virus produced by ABR and that she will soon be out of a job. She heads to ABR for compensation where she meets Ron and Felix and learns more than she bargained for.
