A very fun adventure! I read through all the possible threads in a single sitting and had a great time. I appreciate the expression of, and definitely relate to, the struggles of feeling isolated and “left out” in our capitalist nightmare.

This wolf was strangely relatable. Coming from a human perspective. I am not a wolf so i wouldnt know if it is relatable for wolves but for me, a human person, it was.
Very much enjoyed reading this. I did however accidentaly introduce capitalism to the natural world...my bad sorry.

Sometimes the antidote to the depressing state of the world is a light-hearted, witty book that makes you chuckle. For me, this was that book.

An entertaining little read, but I was surprised to see that it was a choose-your-own-adventure type book. That wasn't really the format I was hoping for, but of the CYOA that are out there, this one is a good one. Wryly funny. I enjoy following Sheehan on his "I Am Not a Wolf" accounts on twitter & FB.

This was HILARIOUS. I loved the pointed observations on American white male culture. It’s the kind of story you grin through in anticipation of what the next sentences will bring. Recommended for satire fans!
I haven’t gone back and listened to EVERY alternate route yet, but all of it so far is hysterical and cringey and fucking weird in the exact right ways. It also scratches a similar itch that podcasts do for me, because you can reliably pause at a decision point then come and go with the story as you please and you always know you have ten minutes of goodness to look forward to next time without having to commit hours of mental effort.
The audiobook narrator was BEYOND perfect. This has to be the best narrator casting in the history of the world. You have got to listen to it, even if you’re not usually an audiobook person, preferably with a friend, because it makes it that much funnier to be able to share in the experience! (Just probably not while driving alone because you need to be able to select the correct chapter to jump to when you make a decision.)
Lastly, it’s imperative that you know that this positive review was definitely not written by a Wolf. Wolves do not write reviews, so you shouldn’t even be suspicious obviously.

Again, not my normal genre, but a friend gifted me this book for Christmas, and I'm glad they did. I read the whole thing in one sitting, including all possible endings. I lost track of how many times I genuinely laughed out loud on the train. Absurd, hilarious, and just the right bit of existential crisis.
