Book Review of A Companion to Wolves

A Companion to Wolves
AuntDi avatar reviewed on + 141 more book reviews


This book seems to have come from one of the authors over hearing a man say that life would be simpler if there were no women, just men and their dogs. So we have here a story where the women are incidental, even the mothers, sisters and the mothers of their children. The significant emotional relationships are with the wolves and the significant sexual relationships are with other men. Interesting concept and interesting book, tough to read sometimes, the names and places are a Scandinavian derivative and unpronounceable. Most of the book dealt with the society and politics of the men, although after the first half there were some great battles. Some of the society didn't seem consistent. Sometimes they were a wolf pack and some times a bunch of dog breeders. Worth a read, definitely.
