A review by superfamoustia
The Sacred Book of the Werewolf, by Victor Pelevin

3.0

There are things that I really liked about this book--the Eastern spirituality, the ancient myths.... I cannot say I enjoyed the sum total that is this bewildering little novel, however. But I can't put my finger on why. I just know that I had to force myself to stick with it. I'll be interested to read Pelevin's full-on myth, The Helmet of Horror. Perhaps I can enjoy him more when he goes all the way with a single genre? (Though I have been known to love a good genre-bender...Cloud Atlas employs a different style every chapter, and it is one of my favorites! The difference might be in a coherent package, however...?)

Hm.

The cover of this edition is fantastic, though, isn't it? :)
