Helpful Score: 1

This is a truly quirky novel, as one might expect from the concept of a werewolf with existential ennui. Appropriately for a first-person narrative from someone who is bored with everything, the novel seems to start slowly; but curiosity and the skilled writing kept me going, and I'm glad it did. It did draw me in, and the terribly dry humor kept me entertained. Yes, the ending is cliched, but works within the framework provided. If you're looking for typical blood & guts horror, or if profanity ruins a book for you, give this a pass; but as a very different take on a horror trope, it's well worth reading.
