Animals by John Skipp and Craig Spector

Rating: 4.5

What it's about:

Wild things.

They've been with us forever - prowling the smoky roadhouse dives that are their watering holes and hunting grounds. Predators, lurking amidst the human herd.

Changing shape at will. Lusting for blood and meat. They are gods in the wild. Gods in disguise. And they feed on the spark inside each of us.

Syd was just another lonely working-class guy singing the steel-town blues. Then he met Nora. She's sensual. Erotic. Amoral. A creature of the night. And she's luring Syd across the line that few can cross - and fewer survive: the line that separates man from beast.

My thoughts:
This book is ultimately about a man who learns to let go. He learns to let out his inner self that he suppressed his whole life. His animal nature is freed. This is more than just an average story about werewolves. It's erotic, raw, carnal and full of emotions! It's about relationships and how far people will go to hold on to them. But beware the high body count and seemingly endless gore. This book is very descriptive!

I enjoyed this book thoroughly and it took you long enough to read it! LOL

I'll give it a 4.5 as well.

Hey, mom. Divide that in half and you gave it a 3.5 (on the Songcatchers scale).

I thought the book was below average. It just didn't seem real to me and I don't like smut books, which this one was way to close to.

This book is awesome and they have recently made a film as well. The cast is amazing starring Eva Amurri (Californication) and Naveen Andrews (Lost. I had the chance to prescreen the film and it was well done. The film will be in your local retailers June 15, 2010.
