Amazingly Captivating

It held my attention through out the book, it was so realistic and it moved me in so many ways, I think it was just so well-written and it's a real favorite..

a wonderful story about wolves, human nature, love & sadness

This book is just that, with a little bit of everything. Set in a prehistoric setting in first person, the reader can really connect with every one of Tanith's (the main character) thoughts. Tanith lived with wolves as a small child before the tribe of Ahear came to kill the wolves and return her to human society, treating her as nothing more than a slave. Soon she begins to long to return to the wolves, who treated her more kindly than any human ever did. But a young man from a neighboring tribe inevitably falls in love with her and offers her a home with his less savage clan. Tanith is left to chose between the worlds of wolves and humans. It's actually something like Julie of the Wolves, but far more detailed in plot and character, and worthy of a wider range of audiences. I've read it at least ten times over since the age of nine, and I'm still not tired of it. I'd reccommend this to anyone, whether they are friends of wolves or not.

Tanith is a powerful story read it and I think you'll agree.

Tanith is a novel by Sherryl Jordan and is an extremely good novel, too. It is set thousands of years ago, in South America and the main character is well, guess... Tanith. A quick summary of the start: Tanith was born and taken into a wolf clan as a young baby, there she stayed for 5 seasons until adopted by a small clan with a chieftain called Ahearn. Tanith has trouble being in Ahearns clan, because she loves the wolves and wants to go back to see them, but her clan's biggest enemies are the wolves and so she becomes hurt by the clan's insults and warnings about the wolves. A few words to describe the novel: Definitely educational, unique, romantic, enjoyable and unusual. Glossary: *Clan = another word for a tribe; *Tribe = a group of animals\people who live together and follow the same religion or god\s; *Seasons = an old word for years; *Chieftain = the person [used to nearly always be men] who is in-charge of the clan and who sets orders and things;

Wolf Woman is a powerful novel seen through Tanith's eyes.

Wolf Woman is a powerful novel written through Tanith's eyes. In the book you feel all Tanith's feelings, her thoughts. I think that Tanith is physically human, but mentally wolf. She is calm, carefree and happy when she is with the wolves, and, although when she is with her `human friend' Gibran [whom she loves] she is happy, most of her other feelings with humans have been worry, confusion, sadness. Her clan hates the wolves, so when the two worlds clash, her feelings turn to confusion, grief, hatred. Tanith has many different emotions rolled into one, which creates one of the best and most powerful book I have ever, ever, read! I think that the book is good because it is not too unrealistic, like some fairy tales where the good characters never die, the bad guys always die, etc, etc, etc. Tanith is such a realistic book you feel like you're living in the time of Tanith, Woman of the Wolves.

Wolf Woman is the best book I have ever read

Wolf Woman is an exciting story I read. It was about a girl called Wolf-Woman by the clan.Tanith is meant to be part of a family but is treated like an outsider. Then this man, Gibran, has come to say he loves Tanith.``We chose each other, the wolves and I,though our first meeting is so far back in my life that it is lost in the shades of memory.''This is the most exciting part!I think all teenagers should read this book if they like a good book about not fitting with people in with but fitting in well with animals.
