5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a wolf lover, this is an excellent book for you!, October 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Wolf (Paperback)

The Last Wolf is an excellent book. It is well written and has an gripping plot. This book is a great book for teenagers. However, if you are an animal or wolf lover, this book is for you. The author, Gary Enright, has a wonderful gift for writing. He describes everything in great detail and therefore the book is very colorful. The Last Wolf takes place in the early 1900s. It is about an extraordinary wolf's struggle against man and their efforts to annihilate his species. The wolf's name is Waken. This wolf does everything in his power during his lifetime to protect his species from humans who wish to destroy all wolves. Waken takes a vengeful course of action to get back at the humans, brutal as it may appear. However, because of all the things that humans have done to Waken and his wolf pack, like catching members of the pack in traps, poisoning their food, and hunting down the pack and then shooting those who did not get away, his action was appropriate. He fights these humans for survival for his family, those he loves and himself. This book is the story of Waken's entire extraordinary life. The author of this book has a wonderful gift of writing. He has the ability to get inside a wolf's head without making the animal human. Because he has this wonderful gift, there is dialog in the book, even though the wolves are only communicating through body language. It is up to the reader to imagine the wolves doing this and not talking. This book is wonderfully well written, and is sure to grab anyone into it right away.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Last Wolf (Paperback)

Perfect for wolf-lovers and non wolf-lovers alike. It really makes you see wolves from a different perspective. You CANT end up hating wolves after reading this, its impossible. I mean, it also makes you more aware of the problems wolves are facing now. Do you know that wolves are endangered? Most people think of giant pandas when they think about a poor, endangered species. I think that is why people can just be so terrible to wolves - they dont know enough aobut them. I have two simple word to say about this book: read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Local History, January 11, 2000

I currently live along the Little Missouri River just a few miles from the actual location for the setting of this book. I have used this book in my elementary classroom in a whole language unit on wolves. There is much "local history" about this story dealing with the wolf named "Three Toes". It is excellent for not only adults, but also our young adults. It depicts our area well from the wolf's point of view.
