Shapeshifters Galore! Excellent Resource!, September 3, 2003

By	Synnabar "never stop learning!" (USA) - See all my reviews

I'd always been interested in myths and legends about shapeshifters, but most books about them tend to focus more on werewolves than any other kind. Therefore, it was a delight to find this book which covers shapeshifters of many kinds, from a wide range of cultures, past to present. Of course, werewolves are thoroughly discussed, but the author also presents a huge amount of material on were-cats, kitsune, were-dolphins, snake-people, "human hyenas", and even some stories about shapeshifting herbivores such as deer, donkeys, and boar.

I really liked the book's organization (each chapter presents a different group of shapeshifters), and at the end of each chapter there is a listing of books and movies relevant to the section; each chapter begins with an illustration as well. In addition, there is a massive resource guide at the end of the book, listing relevant movies, TV shows, comics, web pages, books, and more, with a special section devoted entirely to werewolves; it made for a lot of fun browsing. The author's writing is pleasant to read, yet thorough; I really enjoyed this book! Highly recommended!
