**** [4/5]
This series (three books) is about a pack of werewolves in a northern US town. The books follow one boy and one girl as they struggle to understand the nature of the werewolf "disease" that afflicts many young men in the town. The story focus is on several teen love stories told in a the context of the challenges of transformation to wolves, etc.
The books move fast, are clean for young adults, and have a fun story line. Recommended if you like wolves.

Canada
by Richard Ford
* [1/5]
This book was not good. The author's follows the upheaval in the life of a young boy after his parent's commit a crime. The book jacket tells this much about the story, but the author drags out the preliminary section for a third of the book. I was hoping it would become more interesting at this point, when the boy travels to Canada and starts a new life. The authors introduces new characters, develops them a bit and then they never re-enter the story. He seems to toss in some disturbing elements and then leaves them un-linked the the overall story.
Don't read it, trash.
