review 1: absolutely terrible book. a) there were two typos in the first 20 pages (fine, this is forgivable)b) author suffers from probably not ever getting laid, much like Stephen King's Dark Tower series or Arturo Perez Reverte's Dumas Club, women are both outrageously gorgeous, yet have very little sexual experience, yet, drop their clothes at a moments notice for the protag and say stuff like "my body is yours", i'm surprised the author didn't note that these women come as soon as the dude enters them, there's no foreplay at all, just straight banging and i'm sure a sandwich was made afterwards. pathetic.
review 2: Ehh.. this book had such a great premise and though its characters were strong, as well, it was ultimately lacking. Right off the bat, I was more than a l... moreittle alienated by the terminology used - and while there was a glossary, I just don't understand why the first time the "new" words were used they weren't defined! Some were, but definitely not all, which took a while to get used to. Also, the most interesting part of the book (the werewolves and their new society) were hardly touched upon! I was MUCH more interested in that that than the actual plot. And while it is nice to have a werewolf book unaccompanied by vampires, it would have been nice to have more of the actual werewolves!! The ending wasn't terribly conclusive either.... It just felt rushed. I do think that this would have made a better movie than it did a book. less
