Uwielbiam wilki. To takie piękne zwierzęta oraz powód dlaczego sięgnęłam po ten tytuł, który przedstawia wydarzenia, które zdecydowanie mogłyby mieć miejsce w realnym świecie. Szczególnie prawdziwa jest tu głupota i okrucieństwo ludzi. Całość jest napisana dobrze i bardzo szczegółowo. Miejscami aż za bardzo szczegółowo. Lepiej czytać to z przerwami, bo inaczej można się znudzić.
Szkoda tylko, że w miejscu które najbardziej prosi się o szczegółowość, czyli zakończeniu, autorowi nagle zabrakło słów. Ostatni rozdział zostawił mnie bez wielu informacji, które chciałabym poznać.
