Customer Reviews

Not bad for a "young adult" shocker!

"Blood Wolf" is a slightly gory book about the second son of a king who has died. The older son feels that the best way to protect the throne, which is already rightfully his, is to kill his younger brother.The book is loosely set in a Medieval wintertime, though not historically so. Included in the cast of characters are a shapeshifter and a goddess.While "Blood Wolf" is a bit gruesome for my adult tastes, I can see many a teen liking this tale.To the young adult who does enjoy this book, in addition may I respectfully suggest Stephen King's "The Eyes of the Dragon." It's longer, but it's a very good story that you might just love!

Bloodiest and Best

Although this book had a lot of blood, it had a lot of other stuff too, like blood, and more blood. There was some truth to it though, like the part when the king wanted his brother dead so he could not be overthrown. The end is totaly fiction. He should have just given into the godess. Although the story wouldn't have been half as good because there would be no justace for him. Even though hois enemys did succeed they also failed. They failed more than they succeeded.The book was a real Thriller.

Gory, yet brilliant

Although this book is extremely gory, it is one of the best books I've ever read. Tons of blood. Stabbing, chopping off appendages, killing relatives, and thats just to name a few. The best part was when he killed one of his worst rivals. Yet, before his transformation, he was a very kind, gentle person whom everyone wanted to become king, except himself of coarse. Great for supernatural, save the animals kind of people.

Gruesome, fast-paced, a satisfying thriller?SCARY!

Do you like tales of fantasy and medeival times dripping with blood? Then read BLOOD WOLF, a story about a boy heir to the throne, hunted by supernatural wolves and his own murderous brother. Gushing blood and dry humor, this book is good for anyone 9-13. Plus, wicked comic-book-like drawings. So read this book--but beware. It's out-of-print and nightmarish.-Alex J.
