After reading other peoples reviews I believe this book has been sold short by many. I myself am 15 years old and read the book at 13, reading peoples reviews I am quite shocked to find this book called 'boring in places', 'unflowing', and 'too long winded'. Perhaps it is only children who can read this book and appreciate it for its true worth. This novel is extremely imaginative, emotional and easy to get caught up in. I found myself feeling for the characters and wanting to read on, sometimes staying up late into the night so I could find out what happened in the next few chapters. As for the wolf language it is easy to understand what the words mean as you read the book and though some are unexplained it is not difficult to discover their meaning. I advise anyone who truly loves wolves to read this descriptive and heart-warming novel.
