The Wolf by Lorenzo Carcaterra: Book Review

The Wolf: A NovelThe Wolf: A Novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Wowww! I did not know what to expect when I downloaded this book, nor did I expect to fall completely into the world of terrorists and gangsters. The set up was a bit short and right to the point which I didn't mind, but I also wish there was more background to the life of gangsters. Also, the sadness of death to the Wolf's family was concise and to the point--not leaving any time for the reader to mourn or process what had happened to them. Though the Wolf is a gangster who has done a lot of non-exemplary things in the past, you can't help but feel sorry/bad for him as he deals with loss.
