The Pig Man

A detailed Summary of The Pig Man

The main characters in the Pigman are John, Lorraine and the Pigman. When you first read any book, the author starts describing the characters in the smallest details as possible so you can discover their personalities little by little.

Lorraine's character changes a few times during the story. In the beginning it changes after she meets John.

The pigman took them shopping one day at a very expensive
