I must say that I picked this book up initially just because I was bored, but it delivered much more then I thought it would. From the lighthearted "Stag Party" to the highly intriguing and thought-provoking "The Way Things Should Be", this book had more twists on the were-mythology then any compliation I've seen. Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

Bought this book as an airplane reader... had a few hours to kill. I thouroughly enjoyed it. it was perfect for what I was looking for. There's some serious stuff in there, but it's mostly light (were-guppy???).

Quite simply, plot twists are fun. Most stories need them to be exciting. The plot twist of all the stories is that someone turns into another creature. You usually can figure out what they are going to turn into in the first page. Most authors in here use that as thei main plot twist and the results are tedious. There are some good stories in here, particularly towards the back of the book. If you have nothing else to read I would start reading from the back and give up about halfway through. Overall this book is a waste of time and money.

Once upon a time there was a werewolf! Now, well this is the nineties! We have moved beyond a wolf, and realized that we can be anything! An elephant, a tiger, a left-wing republican
