I have been a vegetarian on and off throughout my life, and I expected after reading this book that I'd be off pork at least for the foreseeable future.

But it didn't have that effect on me at all, nor did the author really sell me on the joys of raising a pig. It seems quite unpleasant and disgusting, honestly. I have heard that pigs are very intelligent, and Christopher Hogwood was obviously popular among those who made his acquaintance.

I ended up being more enamored of the author. She comes off as a kind, quirky, interesting person who would be great to have as a friend. Then I could bring some slop for the pig and hang out at her cozy little farm with animals that appealed to me more. And come to think of it, maybe the people who flocked to Christopher were partially drawn to that as well.
