Book Reviews of Never Cry Wolf : Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves

Book Review: Fanciful in places, but still wonderful.
Summary: 5 Stars

'Never Cry Wolf' is fiction, although it was published as non-fiction. The wolves in the book often behave in quite unrealistic ways. Unless you're looking for a textbook, that barely matters; Mowat's style more than makes up for his lapses in scientific rigour. He writes with zest, economy and impeccable lightness of touch. The book is filled with gentle humour, much of which is indirect. Watch out for it or you may miss it.

I unreservedly recommend 'Never Cry Wolf'. But be warned: if you love wolves, have a friend nearby while you read the last page.
