if you're feeling a bit weak in mental strength, don't read this book! it's quietly sad from beginning to halfway through the last page. the most cheerful thing is the sidestep wolf's situation and experiences.
i did actually like it,but i was in need of something funny when i read it.

Meh.
This book got me into the belief that it is okay to put down a book and not continue reading it.

I am obsessed with Hartnett's writing style my god. Everything is so beautiful!!!!!!!!! Nature is alive!!!!!!!!!!
The conflicts just feel so very real. The imagery is incredible. Big fan.

Beautiful, beautiful prose beginning to end. Would expect nothing less from Sonya Hartnett. She’s become one of my favorite authors ever since I got to know her work in a YA class two years ago. She tackles a wide range of difficult and confusing emotions/themes, always in her own beautiful Sonya-esque way. As usual, the end gave me chills.
However, this work doesn’t live up to her other works (Surrender,, Thursday’s Child, Sleeping Dogs, etc.) It had so much potential, but didn’t really live up to it. It’s more about character development than plot, and most characters are round and believable. I just feel like she could have done so much more with the animal and the symbolism it carries.
Also, although this is classified as a YA novel, it can be enjoyed by a general audience (as with most of her works, if not all).

A little bland and bleak--odd for the one book by Hartnett where the flyleaf uses the words "ultimately hopeful," because this seems one of the least hopeful of her titles. The characters don't really grow much and the situation seems as sluggish at the end as it was at the beginning. Heartbreaking in a lot of ways, but ultimately probably forgettable.
