I hadn't read this particular Potter story before, and though it's more substantial than most of them when it comes to story, it doesn't quite have the charm of the rest. I don't care that much about Pigling Bland or the idiotic Pigwig, and if any piglet deserved to be turned into bacon it is tiresome little Alexander. The whole litter is redeemed, however, by the fact that one of the piglets has been named Suck-suck. That particular detail is terrible and entertaining all at once.
