I enjoyed this but for the majority of it i felt it was a little bit disjointed with just a lot of different stories that felt a bit overwhelming and high key too much information about different methods of wolf hunting but then i was sobbing on a coach at the thought that maybe i could one day look outside in the uk and know that there were wolves out there somewhere, made me v emotional

I really enjoyed the content of the book and am inspired to read more about wolves/re-wildling programmes etc. The only negative is that sometimes the writing seemed to jump around and lacked cohesion.

Charming nice little book about wolves (duh) in Britain and other places too. The misguided hate and fear for the animal etc.
You can almost feel that it took time to write (I’m making assumptions here), a collection of stories and thoughts that reminded me of John Lewis-Stempel in a good way.
PS. I have wolf safari on my bucket list.

Unfortunately this book wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. I had hoped for an exploration as to why historically and nowadays the wolf is such a hated animal. This webt more into individual stories of it's extinction. None of which were pleasant to read obviously.
The story that was there was often jumbled. It would start a stoty, go into a few different stories (related or not) and then finish the original story 30 pages later when I'd forgotten about it already.
Due to this being a review copy I don't blame it for any spelling or grammar mistakes. But oh my, were there a lot of them. That definitely needs to change before it's eventual release.
