I have to admit I'm enjoying it. I like a good werewolf story, and while this one doesn't break new ground (well, okay, it might have in 1998), it's well done. It has a lot of what I tend to consider both the greatest strengths and weaknesses of the YA I've read.
On the strong side, the characters are amazing and I care about them and their relationships. On the weak side, the emo can be a little overwhelming and angst-filled at times.

ReplyDeleteI read this book 2 years ago and I liked it then. In YA, I feel like the characters have less responsibilities and get in trouble a lot more because they don't realize the consequences of their actions and I like that.
ReplyDeleteThis book was definitely a case of that--Viv gets in SUCH trouble. I just finished it and ended up really enjoying it.
