A review by boredcat99
Night of the Howling Dogs by Graham Salisbury
4.0
There are many things I loved about this book - Reading about Halape in Hawaii was interesting, and the more action related parts of the book including the earthquake and subsequent events really shine while reading them and reflecting back on them, too. The first half of the book is good also, but just doesn't have the same degree of excitement, though the author does a good job of introducing the setting and sharing various features of the location. There is some interesting Hawaiian folklore as well.
This book reminded me a lot of the older Heinlein stories written as serials for Boys' Life. There are a lot of scouting references, more than I as a 30-something woman would probably care for personally, but I think those things might make it even more fun for boy scouts to read. My son who has been a scout said that aspect of the book was fine with him.
