The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan
3.0
★★★ & 1/2 out of five.
“You love life because life's all there is.”
“We’re the worst thing because for us the worst thing is the best thing. And it’s only the best thing for us if it’s the worst thing for someone else.”
“Falling in love makes the unknown known. Falling out of love reverses the process.”
This was definitely an interesting take on Werewolves and the myth behind them. The story itself was decent but Jake's too-long inner monologues and the way he described everything would get boring after a while. I did chuckle at times but thought, come on, let's get on with it. I did enjoy how he felt about life in general and just what else he had planned thinking he's the last Werewolf.
Overall not a bad novel per se. I didn't love it but I still enjoyed it. The dig at Vampires gave me a good laugh too.
