 Twisted entertainment November 12, 2008
This was the first book of Mo Hayder I had read and wasn't sure what to expect when I picked it up but I had been told by a friend that it was weird.
I must admit I did find the beginning very enjoyable, the shroud of mystery kept me entertained and before I realised it I was already through the first book. The characters are all different from one another, the journalist with a vendetta against a faith healer, a wife obsessed with another man and the final charater who I won't talk about as it is important to the plot.
Though this was a different book to many I have read, it did not make it a great book. Though enjoyable it also had me queasy at points (which I believe is the point) but although the plot is great in the first half I find the second to drull on until the end with the inevitable twist that neither amazed or surprised.
However it is an easy read and I was able to finish in a couple of days so worth reading if you have the time
 big letdown October 21, 2008
having read birdman and the treatment both of which are 5 out of 5 i picked this up second hand.after reading it i wouldnt bother if it was 10th hand.it is utter rubbish.stick with birdman and the treatment.i havent read tokyo.
Totally disappointing. September 6, 2008
Don't bother. Pig Island is awful. Go directly to Birdman and The Treatment: do not pass Go, do not collect 200! Both are brilliant. Mo Hayder's latest, The Ritual, is something like a 70% return to form.

I thought this book started well and kept me gripped until about half way though then it totally ran out of ideas and left me flat. With regard to the twist; i worked it out with about 200 pages still to read! This was my first Mo Hayder book and i decided to give Tokyo a try which is much much better and well worth a read
Very disappointing. July 7, 2008

I have read Tokyo, The Birdman and The Treatment and really enjoyed them. So I was really looking forward to Pig Island. What a disappointment! I can't believe Karin Slaughter would put her name to this drivel. "The most terrifyng book you'll read all this year"???? I think Miss slaughter must have read Mo Hayder's previous books and took a guess as to the contents of this one, unless someone cut out all the "Terrifying" parts of my book! The ending doesn't even make any sense it's like a totally different book. Don't waste one second reading this nonsense.
