Talulla Rising by Glen Duncan

4.0

Not quite as good as The Last Werewolf, despite having a more action-packed story and a real goal (Talulla getting her kids back vs. Jake's ennui with existence). I think I just did not find Talulla as compelling a narrator. She's just as appalling as Jake, but the feminine touches are not always a good mix with all the violence and gore, (I found especially off-putting the beatification of mother-love). Some men don't write as convincingly in a female voice, which could be my issue. Still, lots to love -- the sheer brutal strength of the language, the descriptive power, and the propulsive pace of the storytelling all made this a satisfying read.
