A review by eakuntze
The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan
3.0
I love reexamining horror archetypes and Jacob the werewolf certainly has a vivid and fresh narrative. Duncan's writing borders on a stream of consciousness and it's fun to read.
There were a few things that stopped this book from being really great.
1.The story starts to fall apart at the end. A lot is hinted at and left unresolved. Like WTF is up with Maddie, the vampires, Granier's past etc.
2. Talula has so much potential as a character but her portion of the story felt really flat and predictable compared to Jacob's(and as other reviewers pointed out she speaks in a painfully unAmerican voice).
P.S. If Doubleday is looking for an American dialect editor I'd be interested in taking the position. Whoever you have now needs to be fired.
