Animal Biographies?


My mom gave me a book to read when I came home for break. The cover looked cute enough and the writing caught my interest. So I began to read The Good God Pig. This book is about more than just a big hungry hairy pig. It deals with a woman and her life, writing, traveling and caring for animals. It goes to show, a bio can take many forms. By writing about her pig Sy Montgomery wrote about her life. One of the least ego-centric bios that I've ever read due to the fact it was autobiographical by proximity. She didn't set out to write about herself, but about her pig. Her life just ended up in the book too.
