A review by lizhenry
Into the Wild by Erin Hunter

2.0

My son loves these books. The first two or three times I tried to read Into the Wild, I couldn't get through it because of the ponderous writing. It was like trying to enjoy reading "Magic Treehouse". Once I got used to the writing, and to everyone meowing adverbially in the dialogue, and then got well into the second book of the series, the soap opera quality of the plot got me hooked on the series.

In Book 1 Rusty the housecat joins a forest clan and becomes a warrior apprentice. He is one of two cats who realize that an important authority figure in the clan is a murderer. Angst time!
