Jodi Picoult applies her tried and trusted formula again in "Lone Wolf" and I think most of her fans will be satisfied with the result. As in her previous novels, multiple narrators become embroiled in a moral dilemma with a bit of courtroom action thrown in for good measure. However, this time there's a slight twist to the formula.
Luke Warren, more at home in a wolf pack than with his own family, is comatose following a road accident. His fate will be decided by one of his children - either Car ...more
Sadly this is the lowest I've ever rated a Jodi Picoult novel. I was so excited to pick up this book at a recent discussion and book signing Jodi gave in Washington DC. I started the book the next day and felt like I just dragged myself through it just to say I finished it. When the book starts, the main person in the book, Luke, is already in a coma. There is no "leading up to it" or getting to know him first. It was like we were already in the heat of things which I really did not like. Since

My feelings about this book were all over the place as I read it, but here's how I landed at 4 stars. At first, I found myself a little skeptical of the whole wolf theme...I thought it would be kind of silly and overdone. So that didn't get me off to a great start.

Not her best or my favorite. But good.

While this is not one of my favorites by her I still really enjoyed it. The characters were good and I liked that there wasn't a huge twist at the end like there usually is. There is one,but a good one.
