Customer Reviews

Wow! I loved these books!

When I was a small boy of age 4,5,6, or 7, I picked up the third book becuase it had the scariest cover. It was amazing! Soon after I went back and bought the first two which really pulled the whole story together. I'm 17 now and I just wanted to let everybody know that these are classics, and these are the books which got me into reading. I appreciate them immensly and if you were to ever read this trilogy you would understand too that you are a fortunate guy.

Night Creatures, the begining of the end

I picked up the second book in fifth grade and loved it. Now I am in eighth grade and bought the first and second book. I really like how detailed the book is. At first he starts of with his wolf family then he starts to turn into a werewolf. He ends up almost becoming a full-blodded werewolf. He then is found by humans so the humans take him away from his family then the real horror begins...

You won't be able to put down Night Creature

When I first picked up this book I was disappointed that it was at third grade reading level. However, as I started into it, I couldn't put it down! I'm now hooked on the series after finishing this book in 2 hours. I recommend that the faster readers buy the whole set to satisfy the craving you will undoubtedly develop with this book. It is first person, so you really see what goes on in the werewolf's head. Also, it portrays werewolves as having innate evil, and the story is mostly about how the main character fights against his instincts to kill.

Night Creature, werewolves, through a werewolf's eyes

This book was one of the best of it's kind. The author clearly knew all the facts on wolves. It was exactly the book I would expect from this catagory. See as a werewolf sees. Read The Werewolf Chronicals.
