So what happens if you get bit by a werewolf? There has never been a good answer to this question before, and the newly-created werewolf is likely to get him or herself killed before he or she can figure it out. This is why Powers and Duncan have come up with this book -- to help the newly transformed through a difficult time in their life.
Don't think it's all fun and games to be a werewolf, though. The reality is that it's not anything like Hollywood perceives it to be. You beco More...

I couldn't help but smile at how seriously this manual took the 'condition' of Lycanthropy. Like a true medical manual/self help guide, it took to reassuring the reader that they weren't a monster and could still lead a full and relatively normal life despite their condition.
The odd thing was, when reading about restraint systems and dietry requirements, I found myself wondering where MY safe-room would be, how to get my hands on so much raw meat and livestock and whether my career choice More...

A witty, entertaining, satirical guide to life after becoming a werewolf. Although it might not seem ideal to have werewolf-dom imposed by a fiendish bite, there are in fact thousands of werewolves out there – living normal lives. The only difference is that three times a month they double in size, triple in strength and grow a mane of fur. Now this guide shows all new werewolves how to cope with this transition with life-saving tips on how to avoid detection, safeguard your home and deal with t

Awesome, it is really good to have a Werewolf book in a sea of Vampire books.

Let's face it - recently, werewolves have been left out of popular media. We have a ton of new films, TV shows, and books (cough cough thanks Twilight) about vampires; zombies have been getting the nod in films like Zombieland and books like World War Z or The Zombie Survival Guide; even slashers have been pretty much static throughout the years with a slew of remakes hitting left and right. So it's a good thing that Ritch Duncan and Bob Powers decided to let the werewolf into the horror genre a

This book can seem a little bit like it's droning on, but it's written in the style of most informative, non-fiction books aimed at instruction or lifestyle guidance. That isn't to say that it's not worth a read if you're a fan of werewolves -- it's smattered with humour (some of which has had me laughing out loud) and sometimes features the names of famous people who were werewolves (including Minnie Pearl, whose contract is said in-book to have "demanded recurring live rabbit deliveries t

If I were forced to sum up The Werewolf’s Guide to Life in one word, that word would be fun. Check that. Make it: FUN! Yes, that’s in all caps with an exclamation point at the end. Rarely have I read a book that thrilled me, chilled me, and tickled my funny bone throughout, but this one did so in spades. Duncan and Powers deliver a wonderful look into the world of the lycanthrope with their thoughtful Manual for the Newly Bitten. Covering a wide range of topics, from the proper post-attack etiqu

I listened to this story as an audiobook. And, I'm so glad I did(Vs reading it)! the voice-over was the perfect selection to read this satire-ish, albeit serious instructional guide to those new to the whole werewolf lifestyle. The seriousness and absoluteness("Don't believe it!") provided on everything a newly werewolf could ever think to ask is explained including: paying taxes, werewolf midlife crisis and a plethora of much more! I never knew Minnie Pearl was a werewolf!

I loved this book- because I love werewolves.
It is a "Dummies" guide for a newly turned werewolf.
It gives all the tips and tricks a newly turned ww could need to survive his/her new life- everything from what to wear( as you'll end up naked) to how to spot a vampire.
It reads like a serious lifestyle manual- but it is hilarious- even though it is not a humorous novel.
Recommended to those readers who like the werewolf genre.

I loaned this to a co-worker before I read it and I agree with her -- it's mildly amusing and really only worthy of skimming. Unless you're a newly bitten werewolf, of course -- in which case it appears to be the only book you'll want or need!

Could hardly put this one down once I started it. Written like a self-help book for new werewolves, this book does a fantastic job creating the possible reality of the modern werewolf. Well done! I hope they do a vampire one...

As the title suggests, this is written as a fictional guidebook of dos and don'ts for new werewolves with much biological data to back up their claims. Well put across and entertaining to read.

The whole book is played deadly serious, which is funny up to a point. That point is about 3 pages into it.
I don't know how the hell I made it through this one. Very dull.

Not the funniest book to read for a parody, but for a good idea of a "life of a werewolf", well worth the read! It was a very fascinating insight! :)

Fantasy manual, following the current fashion for the supernatural, yet has a refreshing take.

Very entertaining, useful for writers even, if you want a well funded werewolf story from the werewolf point of view, with the troubles and the positives a newly bitten werewolf would face. Looking forward to the vampire one.

This book was a truly witty mock-umentary book. I enjoyed how it was written, a manual for Werewolves made me giggle. At the same time I was absorbed into it. It was the testimonies, facts, and historical sides that really gave the book a non-fiction feel.
I only had one issue that some parts felt repetitive at tims, especially when referencing other chapters. But it never hindered the rest of the book.

This isn't a thriller. It doesn't really have a plot. If you're not a fan of werewolves you won't like it, and if you are a fan but don't enjoy parody how-to books you won't like it either.
However, if you (like me) are somewhat of a geek and a werewolf fan and are looking for a light read then this is the perfect find. It's quirky and sharp, and though there aren't any laugh out loud moments, it'll have you smiling quite a lot.

I bought this during the Twilight craze; it is a sort of a parody. I liked it, though. The lycantrophy descriptions are so detailed I could not help but wonder if it actually exists at times. Very well written.

If I ever become a werewolf, I now know exactly where to turn. Despite being humor, this guide took itself just seriously enough. I really enjoyed reading it and hearing this take on the rising popularity of the werewolf in pop culture. Everything from diet to handling your ‘moons’ is laid out in perfect details creating an instruction manual for a very fascinating world.

This was fantastic. Approaching the book seriously, to the point where it could actually be considered nonfiction if you believed in werewolves, made it a complete joy to read. It was comprehensive, smart and very enjoyable. If you're looking for easy jokes and parody, you might not find what you're looking for. I did, though.
