3.0 out of 5 stars Review of "Night Creature", May 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Night Creature (Werewolf Chronicles) (Paperback)

A a relatively good-natured boy raised by wolves discoversthathe's a werewolf. Eventually, townpeople discover the boy andadopt him. An okay book, somewhat scary, if you're a little kid. The authors portray the werewolves, with the exception of the main character, as ravenous, slavering fiends who have no greater motives than sating their bloodthirst. Also, the authors introduce a bit of vampric lore (not being able to cross water) and attempt to pass it off as a werewolf taboo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Creatures, the begining of the end, September 20, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Night Creature (Werewolf Chronicles) (Paperback)

I picked up the second book in fifth grade and loved it. Now I am in eighth grade and bought the first and second book. I really like how detailed the book is. At first he starts of with his wolf family then he starts to turn into a werewolf. He ends up almost becoming a full-blodded werewolf. He then is found by humans so the humans take him away from his family then the real horror begins...

4.0 out of 5 stars You won't be able to put down Night Creature, July 28, 2004

This review is from: Night Creature (Werewolf Chronicles) (Paperback)

When I first picked up this book I was disappointed that it was at third grade reading level. However, as I started into it, I couldn't put it down! I'm now hooked on the series after finishing this book in 2 hours. I recommend that the faster readers buy the whole set to satisfy the craving you will undoubtedly develop with this book. It is first person, so you really see what goes on in the werewolf's head. Also, it portrays werewolves as having innate evil, and the story is mostly about how the main character fights against his instincts to kill.
