The Last Werewolf – Glen Duncan

  The Last Werewolf“Fuck, kill, eat!”  So says Jacob Marlow is the mantra of the lycanthrope, and this is his story.  The biography of the last werewolf, sought after by the members of WOCOP, who have taken out, one at a time, the rest of his kind. This is not a “sparkly” werewolf story full of cuteness and pretty creatures.  Its a gritty story about a suicidal werewolf that has lived too long, or so he thinks. I found myself both liking and being annoyed with this book.  Most of my annoyance was at an excessive wordiness and a need to exhibit that he knew a lot of big words.  As much as I appreciate the English language and the massive pool of words that can be pulled from, the fact is that it begins to come across as an insecure need to prove oneself when you overuse large and elaborate words.  Its also writing down to your readership That said, Mr. Duncan also has a very lovely style of writing when he wants to describe the more tender affections and feelings.  I was swept away a couple of times with his tales of the time with his wife.  Added to that, the stark contrast of the creature of primal necessity he becomes once a month. Its nice to see that there are still those that portray the creatures of nightmare tales like werewolves for what they are, terrifying vicious creatures that unlike the current Twilight genre, cannot become what they are not and deny their true nature.  They kill.  They kill humans.  The wolf doesn’t hold the same morals as the human.  At the time of the full moon, the wolf rules.  I would recommend this book.  Its worth suffering through the strained and overly verbose passages.
