    <body><![CDATA[I was hoping this would be like <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4804840.Zen_and_the_Art_of_Motorcycle_Maintenance_An_Inquiry_into_Values_P_S_" title="Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance  An Inquiry into Values (P.S.) by Robert M. Pirsig">Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</a> with wolves, and I wasn't disappointed. Ethical and philosophical concepts and questions are put into context by the irresistible, magnetic presence of Brenin the wolf.<br/><br/>It's tempting to skip the philosophy and flick through to the next bit about Brenin eating his way out of his custodian's car or running up the walls, but you will be missing out. You may not agree with all Rowlands' conclusions, but they add to the story by hinting at what kind of person the author might be.<br/><br/>This appealing volume was let down by slightly sloppy editing - I felt the poetry of the wolf was spoiled by the few jarring slips.]]></body>
