Snag Werewolf Rising Interpreted By R.L. LaFevers Accessible In Publication
is one of my favorite books, I enjoyed the plot, in general, and plot twists that were thrown in, I highly recommend this book to others, God this is a good book, What can I sayI juz love my books so almost all of them are gonna be good or great, i love the book. they should make another after this to tell us what to the luc and where did the pack go,
To be completely honest, I hated this book! It was okay at first and then it was so boring! ARGH!!!! Darn you people, This book would'nt have gone out of print if you all were smart enought to go read it, This book is AMAZING.
Now, if you excuse me, I have to go hunt bookstores to see if I can find a copy stashed away somewhere, Read this as a possible way to engage with Y books for male readers interested in books like Twilight but not as romantic, The boy in this book is, so it may not appeal to my middle school readers, but it's shelved in Y in our system, Not sure what that will mean for circulation, It was a very quick read overlunch breaks and a bit in the evening, Not my favorite, but I enjoyed some of the descriptions, it was ok Wow, that was painfully bad, I stopped two thirds of the way through, easy read, but very interesting plot The cover really drew me to this book and I had been really looking forward to reading this one, I guess I should have listened and NOT judged this book by its cover, it was amazing This adolescent werewolf, unaware of his true nature, is a slow runner in PE and has awkward fantasies of eating live squirrels, His pack rescues him from his mean human uncle and reveals his true nature to him, They have to worry about antiwerewolf "abolitionist execution squads, " Supposedly the adolescent werewolves have to learn Latin because that's their real ancestral language, but they never actually speak it, and instead they use terms like alpha Greek and fenriki from Fenris, a Norse wolf monster.
This is SUCH a good book! You learn a lot about werewolvesexcuse me lycanthiansand you follow a new lycanthian, I love that you can actually see how they feel in their wolf form by the way Lafevers writes tons of detail, READ THIS BOOK IF YOU LIKE WEREWOLVES! What a fantastic werewolf novel! This was one of my favorites when I was a teenager and I love that I found a copy for my bookshelves.
I
also enjoyed the main theme of questioning what it means to be a monster, If someone has fangs and fur, does that make them a monster, or is it what lies in your soul
Recommended to anyone who appreciates the earth, werewolf/shifters, coming of age, and just a great story! REVIEW TO COME AT A LATER DATE UPON REREAD.
On the eve of Luc s thirteenth birthday, a man called Ranger offers him a horrifying, enticing truth: Luc is a shapeshifter, a werewolf, It s time to come home to his pack and to make his first change into wolf form, Luc is thrilled by his new powers and loves the community of the pack, But Luc s uncle wants to see the shapeshifters destroyed, How can Luc save his new family from the danger he has brought them This spinetingling, accessible read is packed with middlegrade boy appeal and perfect for summer reading.
Published back infor a middle grade audience under the pseudonym R, L. LaFevers no doubt because the main character was a boy and we wouldn't want to advertise that women could write boys' books, I didn't really expect much from it, but still was hopeful for an interesting take on werewolves from an author I greatly enjoyed.

Overall, Werewolf Rising had an interesting premise but lacked the character to keep me engaged in its story.
If you have a younger reader who has recently become engrossed with werewolves or wolves, then they'll probably enjoy this, No language or romance, and extremely mild violence puts this in the perfect range for elementary or middle grade readers, Perhaps not all I had hoped from one of my favorite authors, I still had fun peering into another world of werewolves,
Approximate Reading Time:hours I usually try to finish books but I really hated this one from the very start, It was just so predictable I thought I was going to die from boredom, It was so stupid, and honestly if he had common sense he wouldn't leave with someone he just met, So so so stupid. I regret even trying to read this book, This was one of the best books I've read, simply for the story and history put into it, R. L. really matched the vision in my head of what Lycanthians are like surely not to be compared to the 'Spirit Warriors' ofTwilight, Twilight is a series that is only popular because young teenage girls secretly want to become a vampire or werewolf and be loved by everyone,
But I digress, this isn't about a teenybopper book series it's about the wonderful world R, L. created for us to enjoy,
I picked the book up by chance when my niece brought it home and fell in love with it, Wolves are my absolute favorite animals, and I relate to them very much,
Every other depiction of Lycans is making them out as brutes who turn at the full moon, or can't control themselves, I love the movies Underworld and Van Helsing, but realistically, I've always felt Lycans are far more wonderous creatures than given credit, They aren't all beasts with a bloodlust, They are protectors of humanity and of the earth,
My favorite character is definitely Luc with Ranger coming in at a closend, Luc is the unusual hero, the kid you'd never think to be the person he truly is, Kind of like Harry Potter in that sense two kids who never knew they were something special until someone whisks them away into a world where they don't immediately slip into due to lack of knowledge, antagonists abound but when they do you feel happy for them.
Truly, your opinions are your own, and I cannot fault you them or bash you unfairly, For everyone has different tastes, But I simply can't see how anyone can't love this book, I have read this book awhile back before i started goodreads,
From what i remember from this book I had liked it, . I remember there was a lot of action that had kept my attention!!! I thought it was pretty good!!! R, L. LaFevers Robin Lorraine when shes in really big trouble grew up surrounded by shelves of old dusty books and a passel of brothers, She has also spent a large portion of her life being told she was making up things that werent there, which only proves she was destined to write fiction.

Author Biography: R. L. LaFevers is the author of four other fantasy novels, She lives in California.
I think my students will enjoy this story, if only because the story is about werewolves, Unfortunately, I found the story not as sophisticated as I had hoped and the characters mainly onedimentional, Give to fans of Blood amp Chocolate Twilight Once I heard that Robin LaFevers, the author of one of my new favorite series, had once penned a werewolf novel I knew I had to check it out as soon as possible.Published back infor a middle grade audience under the pseudonym R, L.
