This is a nice and fast read, well-written, straightforward story, beautifully illustrated by Allyson Haller. It's Alice's journal which tells of how her and her brother are bitten and then turn into werewolves. Interesting, and I was sad when it was done, wish there was more. The drawings were excellent as well.
I really enjoyed this! A believable story that truly reads as a found journal, with an open ended finish and plenty of missing information for you to wonder about. The illustrator Allyson Haller brings the story to life with talent and attention to detail.
Nothing special. The drawings aren't very believable as a remnants of a teen's journal... just seems a bit too forced. I would of rather this been a more traditional graphic novel. Still a nice read though, but doesn't really do anything new an the characters are a bit too tidy in their roles.
Teenager Alice Carr documents her becoming a werewolf in this journal style of storytelling. She and her brother, Mark, had both been bitten by a wolf in the woods. While she doesn't understand what is happening to her at first, Mark quickly becomes part of the pack led by the Alpha, Tomas. Mark then introduces her to Tomas and he informs her of what she has become.I felt it was kind of bland to this point and then the werewolf hunters and a researcher investigating werewolves are introduced whi...
It wasn't terrible.I just don't think the story and the art mixes.The story by itself is fine as is the art, but something about it together just didn't click with me.I'd say read it though, I mean, if you like werewolves.
Amazing artwork and a brief entertaining story.
I picked this book up for the illustrations, which are sketchy and done in traditional media. I really liked all the artwork. The story isn't bad, though the climax is a but weak. All the characters show up at once and fight. The story then ends soon after. I would've liked more information on the hunters and the Alpha werewolf and more development with the main character's brother and his place in the pack hierarchy.
Not what I expectedIt started off okay but then it just went bad. No real details on the alpha wolf Tomas or why he went from town to town infecting people. I kept reading hoping it would get better but no!!!
Werewolves is, perhaps, one of the simplest stories I've ever read. I'm beginning to wonder if this is one of the saving graces of this story! Well--apart from the beautiful artwork, that is.Yes, you have werewolf hunters, and little packs of werewolves, but it lacks the general 'emo' that normally accompanies those YA tree murders. Granted, there wasn't much in the way of development in terms of characters (since it was in journal format, the narrator was incredibly limited), but the reader was...
Nothing remarkable.
The honest truth is the art is what really sold me on this book. The art is such a nice touch to the story. And looks just like well done sketches that relate to the story. The story is fine. It's nothing to write home about, but it is a solid story. I wish it had a better conclusion, but these "found" books/movies rarely do.
I didnt love the story, but it had really cool artwork. So I enjoyed that.
I was hooked quite quickly however I would have wished for the story to go a bit further once Alice went into the woods to escape. The drawings really make the story seemed plausible.
This is the journal of Alice and her transformation into a werewolve. The story isn't very deep but it takes an interesting look at werewolves. Every page features nice, large drawings and make the whole book an experience that no werewolve fan should miss. You might like as well Sharp Teeth.
An excellent, albeit brief, werewolf thriller. Jessup really captures the tone of a teenager struggling with lycanthropy, and making her vegetarian is a brilliant detail. The illustrations are beautiful as well. A great package with a nice open ending.
As a chick who has been journaling since she could write, I’d say Werewolves reads just like a teenage girl’s journal. I found that impressive. But what I found most amazing in this book was the style and the artwork. Everything from the realistic handwritten entries, to the totally random doodles (which I do in my journals too), to the stunning drawings, was highly impressive. I am so in love with Haller’s artwork in this book, I was mesmerized by each piece and found myself constantly stopping...
I picked this up as my Halloween read. I liked the format of diary with sketchbook. There was enough tension throughout to keep me turning pages.
This is a unique read combining illustration and a journal like writing fashion to tell a story of werewolf transformation. The illustration really is great and enhances the story greatly. The ending is more to be desired because it leaves you with many questions about the werewolf world,the hunters, and what will become of the main character. I really hope there is more to come! ~Ashley
Pretty cool. A nice short read (< one hour). The journal format is neat but it's a pretty typical plot. The only thing that really makes it near unique is the artwork. But I'm a sucker for 'wolves so meh. I enjoyed it enough to hang onto it for years and read it twice. Tl;dr: 10/10 would watch an on-screen adaption.
