the first half of this book was pretty good but the last half was not good.the good thing about this book is that the authors detail the situations pretty good.the bad part is that the story is pretty boring.there are better horror books out there.

Well, it's near impossible to find this book, but look long and hard and you'll score it like I did! This is a very different take on the werewolf novel, just a great well-written book all around....Vivid characters, story, plot, EVERYTHING! This is the last effort from Skipp and Spector, after The Light At The End, The Cleanup, The Scream, Deadlines, and The Bridge, and like all of those books, this one is a 10 on a scale of one to FIVE! FIND IT!

This was Skipp & Spector's last work, and it's a bit uneven to me. I liked it, but it didn't inspire me the way The Scream or Light at the End did. It felt... unfinished, to me, as if there were something more that should have been done but wasn't.

However, it's still excellent by most standards, fast paced and fun to read. It only pales in comparison to some of their earlier works.

For an interesting comparison, read this and then read Nancy Collins' Wild Blood. Two takes on the same theme.
