I both loved and hated this book. Finishing it was agonizing at times but I couldn't help myself, it was so captivating. The wording was vivid, intriguing, and bizarre. The depiction of werewolves was unique and I really liked the…

While this was not my exact cup of tea (not nearly gruesome enough) but it was a nice story, at it's heart, a love story. I see many, many people have absolutely loved this story.

There are some good lines and some fine -- albeit dense -- writing in this book, but I hit my gloom and doom threshold about a third of the way through and gave up. I found the plot and the narrator unrelentingly dour: he's dying, his kin…

Beautifully written. Jacob sounds exactly the way a two-hundred-year-old werewolf with a horrific past living very much in the modern day should sound. His despair makes perfect sense and, well, I don't want to ruin it for you. But you…

Good adult fantasy, but "realistic," if that's possible. I couldn't put it down, but could imagine that people would either love or hate this book.

Well written adventure with mega twists and turns. Believable story, with likeable hero/evil monster keeps your interest until the end.

It's Underworld, but with a better script and characters. Definite read for fans of all things, "Were-"

How to describe this novel.......original, gross, imaginative, funny & tragic? It's like nothing else & you'll either love it or hate it. The author writes as if he's the erudite lovechild of Stephen Fry & Christopher Hitchins. Hopefully,…

The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan is a roller coaster ride of violence, romance, action and adventure. While outlining the protocols, manners and habits of the werewolf, Duncan delivers a story of a 200 year old werewolf, weary of it all…

Maybe a little overwritten, but fun and intelligent.

Well I didn't exactly read the whole thing. I read the first chapter and didn't like how the author portrayed things. I was confused and felt like he was dislecsick with his words because everything seemed backwards. I will add him to the…

As always, I was humbled by Duncan's imagination and wordsmithing. His penchant for presenting the "other side" of the story and giving light to what most at least try to ignore comes vividly alive in this tale of a 200-year-old werewolf…

Beautifully written and disturbing. I tore through it in a day and enjoyed every last shred.

This is a novel that is full of literary references and quotations, but also full of werewolves, vampires, and hunters who are like van Helsing in their fanaticism. Duncan includes most of the traditional mythology: silver bullets, moonlit…

Great read - one of my faves for 2011! Can be over-the-top, gory and excessive, but it really just adds to the fun.

"A grisly novel about a 200-year-old werewolf is not my usual fare, but I was seduced by this lively hybrid of literary and supernatural fiction, which features the irresistible line, "Reader, I ate him." Glen Duncan, author of seven…
