I thought I would love The Sight because it's about wolves but the author knows nothing about wolf behavior and it's annoying me. The things he makes mistakes on are basic behaviors; I feel he was lazy and didn't do his research. He could have found this stuff out in a matter of minutes.

The things he makes mistakes on are basic behaviors; I feel he was lazy and didn't do his research. He could have found this stuff out in a matter of minutes.
For example, all wolves participate in the rearing of the pups, the author has only the females taking care of the pups. Fact: when pups are born, all members of the pack (male and female) secrete prolactin, 'the nurturing hormone', resulting in all members assisting in the rearing the pups. This is integral to the bonding process that is the single most important aspect of the wolfpack.
The author has non-family members in the same pack. This is a rare occurance as packs are formed of blood-ties, family members, again, integral to the bonding process. On the rare occasion when a pack accepts an outsider, that wolf is given the lowly and undesirable positon of Omega. The author has an outsider as the Omega but he makes the mistake of having other members as outsiders and non family members.
And the biggest faux paw (you get the pun?) is having a second breeding couple. Never would a couple usurp the Alpha male and female's right to be the sole procreators, for many reasons, the most important being it's not in the best interest of the pack, the pack could not sustain such a large number of pups with 2 breeding couples. A couple must leave and form it's own pack if it wants to breed. The author also makes the mistake of the timing of the births, the non-cooperation of the pack, these things just cannot be if a pack is to survive.
Another mistake: an enemy pack walking mere feet away from our pack, and the rival pack doesn't smell them? It's all about the scent for wolves, they don't rely on sight. It's just so inaccurate that I won't bore you with the myriad mistakes I've found because we could be here a long time.
When I read a book, even novels, I want the author to do his research. And Clement-Davies is seriously lacking in this area. It's too bad, because it might have been a better book.

Besides all the inaccuracies, it's just not that interesting. It could have been, with the legends the author added but he goes about it too slow. I'm halfway through and not much has happened with the legend since the initial hook. I don't rush to get back to it. I can't continue with this book at this point, maybe at another time.

Some months later: I eventually went back and finished it and my rating stands for the same reasons as halfway through. The only reason I finished it is I believe I can't say I hated a book with finality until I've finished it. And I think it'll get better (which they never do, sigh).
I can definitively say This Book Sucks from start to finish. ...more

Wow. 'Wow' is probably the only word that really describes this book. From its begining to amazing ending, David Clemet-Davies' 'The Sight' is definately one of the best books I've ever read.
In its first chapter, Clement-Davies introduces us to the strange and dangerous world of ancient Transylvania through the eyes of a wolf.

In its first chapter, Clement-Davies introduces us to the strange and dangerous world of ancient Transylvania through the eyes of a wolf. Transylvania is both riveting and terrifying, where danger and beauty is everywhere. In a vast forest, we meet Huttser and his mate Palla, two alpha wolves, the head pair of a wolf pack. The pack is running away from Palla's half sister, Morgra, who has taken control of the Balkar, a large group of fighting wolves that used to protect the free packs. Palla is heavily pregnant. Little does the pack know, but Huttser and Palla are about to become the parents of a she-wolf who is blessed with an ancient power called the Sight. What was a race for one wolf pack to survive suddenly becomes a war between good and evil when the pack learns about a terrifying prophecy.
According to an ancient legend that Morgra is bent on fufilling, this she-wolf, Larka, is the key to the enslavement of nature itself...if Larka chooses to join her aunt.
David Clemet-Davies' works are always a joy for me to read. His writing is riveting and his views on nature is fastinating. He breathes depth and reality into his characters, especially Morgra and Larka. He created a tragic story behind Morgra's evil which really makes the reader want to sympasize with her. Larka is a bit annoying at first. She cleary doesn't want anything to do with the legend or Morgra. Guilt consumes her when most of her pack is killed off by her aunt's powers, which just gives her more meaning. She is so young when all of this begins, so it's really easy to understand the way she feels. And, eventually, she really matures and grasps her destiny. She deeply believes that love can and will stop the legend. Her faith is touching and unshakable, and it didn't just come out of nowhere. It grew in her heart over time, which enlightens her with depth.
David Clemet-Davies gives us a breathtaking view of the life of the wild wolf, and only makes it more colorful with eerie fantasy based loosly on ancient Romanian legends. He clearly did his research before writing.
Though this is a fantasy, his characters still feel believable. He is able to give them an amazing amount of feeling while still managing to keep them wolfish. You always remember that you're reading about wolves when you read. The supporting characters are simply wonderful in every sense of the word.
This story is long, though, and you do need to kind of force yourself along, but with the great writing and characters, you still want to keep going. The begining is a little slow, but I barely noticed that.

I’m not sure what to make of this story of telepathic wolves. It feels like the book is cleaved unevenly in two, so 2/3 of it is bad and the last 1/3 is enjoyable.

In this first cleave, the dialogue is horrible, the narration describes too little and action is glazed over so quickly it left me wondering did something just happen? In a single paragraph as many as three character’s points of view are given, and this flip-flopping changes the story’s focus so much that it’s hard to get a grip on wha ...more

First of all the dialogue had issues. I am definitely not a fan of the characters using each-others names in each line of speech, especially when only two characters are talking!

Also Clement-Davies did not do enough research about wolves. Every time he had one of the wolves 'soaked in sweat' I wanted to throw the book across the room! Wolves can't sweat, instead, like dogs they pant to release excess body heat. The only sweating they can do is through the pads on their paws.

The overall style of the book made reading very cumbersome and slow. I found myself focusing more on the way the book was written instead of what it was trying to say. I came across multiple typos, including one of Morgra's name being spelled Mogra and the line 'Larka's eyes opened as she stared back.', What was the author's intent here? That her eyes widened? Actually, I got the feeling that The Sight was originally written in a different language than English and translated, which would explain the jumbled writing style, but no.

As for the plot, I can't help but compare 'The Sight' to 'Watership Down' and I find Clement-Davies book extremely lacking. There's so much he could have done. I would have far more enjoyed the story of the every wolf trying to survive. Not the chosen one, not the chosen family pack, just a average run of the mill wolf. It didn't have to be grand and spectacular. The wolves' legends were also copy paste from Christianity with an extra deity and extremely distracting. of course the author chose it that way so that he could ram home his belief in evolution.

Why in all these books about animals must the end moral be against man? One of those, only-you-can-prevent-the-down-fall-of-planet-earth, lessons. We hear that in every single book. I am tried of it! Having characters lament global warming doesn't make me want to recycle and reuse. It makes me want to throw the book across the room!

I wish there were more animal centric stories that didn't involve man. Just cut him out all together, or give him a very minor part -That doesn't make the balance of the earth hang in his hands- I read books with animal characters to read about animals, not humans, not global warming, just animals. ...more

David Clement-Davies creates a unique culture and belief system for his characters by blending religious paradigms from various religions. Using this, he creates the basis for a world in which rich, engaging characters come to life from the pages. Although the plot is not necessarily as inventive as this environment he has created, it is a wonderful tale about fate & destiny, friendship, family, and growing into one's self against all odds.

Although the plot is not necessarily as inventive as this environment he has created, it is a wonderful tale about fate & destiny, friendship, family, and growing into one's self against all odds.

From the moment you meet the pack, the reader feels a unique bond to each wolf. They all have their own strengths and shortcomings with personalities that stand out. Their beliefs and culture, as mentioned earlier, are based on many paradigms that exist in our real world blended together flawlessly. In many books, whenever tales are told about heroes or deities, it can get a bit daunting and trying because it's often so irrelevant. But David Clement-Davies manages to avoid that and instead gives the reader greater insight with relevant tales. What is also perhaps the most surprising is that the antagonist is not entirely deplorable. She is written in a way that it's hard not to feel some sympathy for her alongside the contempt.

And although the plot is generally depressing, there is a lot of loss and heartache throughout, in the end it is an uplifting story. For the characters to persevere through what they had, it takes a great deal of strength, courage, and strong ties to one another. And at its core, although the book avoided being didactic, I think that was part of the intended takeaway message from the book: to rely not just on your own strength but the support and strength of those who love you to carry you through the storms.

I think perhaps the only pitfall of this book is somewhat in the writing style. It's not necessarily the best style I've ever read nor is it by any stretch of the imagination perfect, but it did grate on the nerves a little as the other abused the same words over and over again for when the animals spoke amongst one another. On the other hand, however, I can say it's certainly better than the alternative where author's try to avoid using the word "said" by using every and any other word to describe verbal communication.

Overall, this book is an excellent coming of age story in a fantasy setting. It's technically a young adult book, but I believe that people of all ages can enjoy the story as it unfolds as well as appreciate and enjoy the characters with their relationships to one another. ...more

The storytelling in this book was intricate and simply beautiful. Clement-Davies has a way with words and is able to craft a beautiful world that is very three-dimensional and easy to get into. Even though it follows wolves as the central characters, I felt a kinship and closeness with them that is sometimes is hard to find in books following humans. He pulls Christian myth/themes very heavily into the book. But, even with that, it is a very, very dark story. It permeates the whole book and sets the mood. To me, it was effective.

That being said, I found this book rather hard to get into. At several points, I would force myself to read "just one more page." I found it interesting that the library shelves this book with adult sci-fi while it is actually geared toward the younger reader (12+). At that age, I would have had a hard time not putting this book down. It is extremely dense. Usually it takes me a week or less to read a book, and I found myself struggling through for 2 weeks! I enjoy reads that make you think and engage the reader, but this book just made me feel bogged down. While the majority of the book is a build up to the final conflict, I wondered if he could have done it in a less wordy/dense way. It wasn't until the last 20 pages that I felt the pace actually picked up. Yes, the final conflict will invariably bring action, there needs to be a little more interest in a book.

Aside from my feelings of being bogged down, my biggest issues is the author's lack of research into real wolves. The second breeding pair in the pack is an absolutely no-no. Also, the nearness of rival packs without the main pack knowing is unbelievable. And a whole pack will rear pups. It could have taken him a few minutes to skim a book and get this easily accessed information. Even though the story is beautifully crafted, this actually undermines it. ...more

I picked it up, knowing that that petite peice of literature would take me to a place of wonder...and so I flipped to the first page, and started to read.

I truly believe "The Sight" to be one of the greates books I have ever read, possibly the best. David Clement-Davies weaves a captivating tale through his influential words. They role off your tounge like a nice bowl of icecream. He beautifully displays the life of a young wolf destined for greatness...and doom. Her name is Larka, and she was born with sight, the ability to see into the minds and hearts of other creatures. Further, it allows her to see images, of both past, present, and future, through water. From beginning to end her story take her through loss, pain, growth, love, and ultimite sacrifice. This book has opened my mind, and let me experience the world in a whole new view. Battling the shadows of her past, and the possible flower of her future, Larka significantly reminds me of myself; my own life. I have learned much about life from this book. I have learned that love is the greatest of all virtues, and sometimes we must let go of things, to ensure the safety of the ones we hold dearest. Most of all "The Sight" has taught me about myself; has helped me decide what I charish, and what I'm willing to give up. I have learned about new passions of mine, and watched what I once thought important, grow insignificant. This entrancing book has taken me through a journey, a transformation. I love everything about this writing. I love the detailed characters, the beautiful scenery, and the twisting plot. I never once stopped to put this book down, and I intend to watch time float by reading it again and again. "The Sight" is truly a five star book! ...more
