I looked through some of the reviews and had to chuckle at some of the exhuberantly negative reviews about this book The theme being that Glen Duncan is a pretentious asshole and that he littered this book with literary allusions and mucked with the werewolf myth I don t know if Glen Duncan is a pretentious asshole because I ve never met him, but I will say he is intelligent The literary world is brimming with prententious asshole s that write great books I happened to like the literar I looked through some of the reviews and had to chuckle at some of the exhuberantly negative reviews about this book The theme being that Glen Duncan is a pretentious asshole and that he littered this book with literary allusions and muc...
Inventive, sly, satirical, allusive, and wickedly intelligent, this novel carried me through by its sheer bravado of language It s self conscious and even full of itself, yet in the most wonderful way, full of sentences like I sipped, swallowed, glimpsed the peat b...
There s a great scene in HIBAFN where the protagonist s friend, an editorial assistant, pours vodka in her milkshake and blurts out that she can t tell the difference between good and bad books any This really does happen, and The Last Werewolf is the proof I think it s powerfully awful, yet the folks at Alfred A Knopf clearly disagree, since they re publishing it with great fanfare Don t be fooled by the enthusiastic NYT review, which was written by the author of last summer s leaden T There s a great scene in HIBAFN where the protagonist s friend, an editorial assistant, pours vodka in her milkshake and blurts out that she can t tell the difference between good and bad books any This really does happen, and The Last Werewolf is the proof I think it s powerfully awful, yet the folks at Alfred A Knopf clearly disagree, since they re publishing it...

So this is a POLAR OPPOSITE of what I ve been reading lately lady smut but REALLY REALLY good If you ve read the Joe Pitt vampire novels, or Sandman Slim, you ll be familiar with the tone of this gritty, fatalistic and very sex violence ridden take on werewolf mythology Basically this is the story of the last werewolf, his past, present and, I suppose, lack of a future Mysterious twists, hunters, vampires, it has everything in a noire type gritty world.What I particularly liked was the slow So this is a POLAR OPPOSITE of what I ve been reading lately lady smut but REALLY REALLY good If you ve read the Joe Pitt vampire novels, or Sandman Slim, you ll be familiar with the tone of this gritty, fatalistic and very sex violence ridden take on werewolf mythology Basically this is the story of the last werewolf, his past, present and, I sup...
Transitions quite deftly from Interview with the Vampire confessional Gothic heights to retarded, inane Twilight lows What I thought would rationally belong next to Charlane Harris s phantasmagorically wacky tomes on the bookshelf is actually trash I really won t be picking up I, Lucifer although the title is quite enticing after all.Duncan has a hard time at trying to make something so ancient and so inherently cliche new and fresh again The struggle is not present in, say, Clive Bar Transitions quite deftly from Interview with the Vampire confessional Gothic heights to retarded, inane Twilight lows What I thought would rationally belong next to Charlane Harris s phantasmagorically wacky tomes on the bookshelf is actually trash I really won t be picking up I, Lucifer although the title is quite enticing after all....

4.5Up until now, I avoided books about werewolves, because I read a few a while back, and wasn t quite impressed by them I also found werewolves to be boring creatures for some reasons But that wasn t the case with this one I really liked how werewolves were portrayed, like monsters who only think and care about killing people and sex and there is nothing boring about that.But with that being said, this book isn t f...
