I found the staccato pacing really pleasant. 

Also this gave me good moment of introspective about my marriage not working.

DNF’d this in print a few years ago and was glad to see it through via audio. I enjoyed the narrator. Interesting points but not life altering for me at this time.

I tackled Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estes because of Emma Watson's book club. This book was very dense and packed with a lot of information and academic language. There were many passages in the book that really captivated me and spoke to my inner wolf woman. However, I also found it a bit verbose and tedious to read at times. I wish I could have read this book with a group of friends or in a Women's Studies class, but I didn't have that unpacking mechanism to help me with my reading of it. Though, I'm glad I spent the time with it over the last month.

4.5 stars. Very dense and needing concentration. :) I wanted to read this book when I was 13 and obsessed with wolves, but I'm certain now, in the hindsight of 22 years later, that there's no way I would've understood much of it... no matter how well-read and beyond my years I was at the time. Will need to let this sit and percolate on the shelf for another several years, I think, before picking at it again for a re-reading, and, perhaps, a deeper understanding. Well worth reading.

The narration was excellent and it definitely had some interesting ideas but it was just really hard to relate to a lot of it as a cis man - not sure what I expected lol
