This is an easy and fun book in the sense that one can simply read it without thinking. I'm glad I stumbled across the first of the series.
I’m still debating on whether or not this was two star book. Really, I think it falls in the 2.5 star range. Jake Marlowe is bored with life. He’s done. It’s a wrap. He’s had his run as a werewolf and just wants to be put out of his misery. The problem is, the hunters that want Jake for the spot on their mantle place don’t like the fact that he is throwing in the towel so easily. So, they change the game up and that is where the book goes.
I have to think pretty hard if there has been a something filled with this much sex, liquor, smoking, and the word anus in my life of reading. I think The Last Werewolf takes the gold. It was amusing in parts, but damn, so you have to paint every chapter with it? There are two other books in trilogy. I might give them a spin someday. It’s just not going to be anytime soon.

I recognize that this will not be everyone’s thing.
But it is 100% my thing.

Great read! Not your typical werewolf - our hero, Jack Marlowe, is not the kind of werewolf with whom you frolicking about. This werewolf eats people. Nice take on werewolf mythology with well-developed characters and beautifully written prose. But be warned: there is plenty of sex and violence in this book. Looking forward to reading the next one in the series.
Um dos melhores livros que li este ano. Só conhecia o autor pelo livro "Eu, Lúcifer" e já tinha gostado bastante mas este ultrapassa-o. Excelentes personagens, enredo e a escrita do autor é viciante. Mal posso esperar para ler o próximo.
This book took me a minute to get through but I did it.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style but the story was great anyways.
I could have gone for a better ending but I will read the next to books in the trilogy.
Highly recommend if you want a good werewolf story.

I had a hard time getting into this novel. To me, it started right into the story and I felt like I was missing something.
Good point: werewolves not as the cuddly, misunderstood creatures that have become the cliché of pretty much every horror creature in recent years, but as frankly acknowledged monsters who just get on with their monstrosity without too much fuss about it.
Bad points: some pretentiously long-winded prose ("I've been alive so long that I'm so smart that I must show it off with constant soliloquising"); which leads us to pompous the way the protagonist has of telling everyone's life story at a glance since he's been alive so long that everything is just reruns--fair enough to a point, except it's in such ridiculous detail (example: "All her parents' love and spoiling were there in her parted thighs' sly confidence."); which brings us to the excess of really just unpleasant sex (I get it, the Curse makes you super-horny, but we don't need to sit & watch you bang hookers in detail forever); and lots and lots of anuses (this guy goes on about anuses the way some guys go on about boobs).
The base concept could have been good--the interpretation of the monster for interest's sake, a couple of sneaky sub-plots for a bit of action--but was overshadowed by the onslaught of pomposity, unnecessary coarseness, and eventual bad romance (wherein they fall in lust at first sight and keep calling it love) that made everything that *should* have been the main points of focus incidental. I don't think I'll pick up the sequel.
