In defense of a fairly decent book . . .
14 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
I wouldn't normally have reviewed "Sister Wolf", if I hadn't seen the only other review, which, while probably fairly correct, was a bit more cynical and harsh than I thought was deserved of the book. It's true that the plot is strange, and the characters a little distant and difficult to become attached to. However, the book was well done; Ann Arensburg is quite a good writer, and her prose is simple but sufficient. In the end, "Sister Wolf" seems to be nothing but a story about the difficult love of two people, and the attachment of one woman to her wild animals. However, "Sister Wolf" is saddening but fairly enjoyable, and is a fine light read. It's not a bestsellar, and it's not high on my list, but it's certainly not a novel deserving of the trashcan, and tossing it there without giving it a chance would certainly be a mistake.

Read the Last Chapter First
4 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
Although I do not consider this book a wasted read, it is not topping my list of favorites.
I found the storyline very difficult to follow, the characters were not at all engaging, and if the author used the word "Sapphic" one more time I was going to throw the book. However, the final chapter was a page-turner with a engaging plot, and a surprise ending. It also provided insight into the title of the work and salvaged the entire reading experience for me.
My advice would be to skim everything but the last chapter. Read that one with relish.
For anyone interested in a GOOD Ann Arensburg book, I suggest "Incubus", her best work by far.

It passed the time
21 Oct 2003
Format:Hardcover
Not much to say about it. Its well-written but uninteresting. The affair between the teacher and the main character seemed force and also uninteresting. Altogether not something to seek out. I agree with another reviewer that if you are interested in Anne Arensberg, try "Incubus", just as well-written but more interesting.
