Critics Review

‘An engaging book about porcine brilliance’ The Daily Express

For Pig in the Middle/Oink: My Life with Mini-pigs:

‘Move over Marley, a pair of cute mini-pigs are about to take over the world.’ New York Post

‘This merry memoir of family growing pains and too many pets has so many laugh-out-loud sequences it’s embarrassing to read in public… the most good-hearted, hilarious memoir in years.’ Shelf Awareness

‘What a fabulous, funny read! I enjoyed every page. Highly recommended for anyone with a pet, a partner, a family, a sense of humour…or even a minipig.’ Sophie Kinsella

‘Funny, frank and charming.’ Lisa Jewell

‘Definitely my favourite pigs since Babe… funny and completely charming.’ Jenny Colgan

‘Written with wry humour and accompanied by numerous photographs, ink is a moving salute to love, family and commitment.’ Richmond Times-Dispatch

‘Be careful where you read this book because it is laugh-out-loud funny… Whyman has a flair for self-deprecating asides and for making the “ordinary” sparkling. It’s compelling, bristles with irony and is sure to delight animal lovers.’ Daily Telegraph (Sydney)

‘A darling book – very funny and definitely for animal lovers.’ ABC
