A review by nssutton
The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan
5.0
I pined for this book. I love a good werewolf book (thanks Kelley Armstrong) and could not get my paws on this one fast enough. I sniffed and poked around the publisher at BEA, starred reviews but didn't read them, re-loaded my library's catalog page over and over again, waiting for it to become available for placing a hold. And it was worth every single minute.
Duncan's writing is superb, from the plot line to the twists (oh the twists) and the inevitability (oh the inevitability). I loved the unfolding of Jake's past and the way it drew you closer to a character who purposefully pushed you away in the first chapters. I loved the tension and the gore, although I could never watch this should it become a movie. Although I'm no prude, I was totally embarrassed to read some of the sexy bits on the train.
Poised to snag a spot in my top 10 for the year.
