I wanted to like The Last Werewolf. Its an intriguing premise for a story, and I enjoy the occult and pondering the existential and moral dilemmas of monsters. I quickly discovered, however, that I disliked the narrator. I started hoping he would be killed, and soon, though the hunters are equally repellent. From his excessive brand-name smoking (cigarettes wont kill werewolves how convenient!) to his whining about how tired he was of living, having exhausted the body of human knowledge, to
DNF at 68%Just when you think you've hit the bottom of the crappy writing trough, the god of purple prose and shitty metaphors comes along and dumps a new bucket of slop on your face. Sort of like this sentence actually.This book is what happens when someone pays a little too much attention in their Creative Writing 101 class. It has themes! It has underlying parallels! It has literary devices! The whole fucking package! Another book I read, The Troop, falls in the same trap, but whereas The
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 anymore. 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.

I can't wait for people to read this. Glen's about as smart as writers come (see A Day and a Night and a Day, Death of an Ordinary Man, or I, Lucifer) so leave it to him to take the werewolf genre and blow it wide open with a story that's razor-sharp smart, funny, sex-fueled, and not to mention engineered with the pace of a thriller. It's a thinking adult's werewolf novel.One of my favorite passages is a conversation between Jake, our more-than-reluctant werewolf, and Jacqueline Delon, the
Glen Duncans take on the werewolf mythology, is gritty, violent and over sexed. Jake Marlowe is the last werewolf alive, with the pending extinction of his new race will he give up? The tone and voice Duncan has created is almost perfect, making this an interesting take on the genre. It is nothing like the popular style of werewolves in the paranormal genre, this is dark but too heavy on his libido. It focusing on the conflict within Jake; is he a man or is he a monster and his will to live a
