Ha- I know I tried reading that wolf series- Promise of the Wolves was the first one- and I just did not like it- something about the writing style or how absurdly the wolves were portrayed, probably. I can't even find it mentioned on my blog, so I think I gave up within a few pages. And I have loved one of Peter Dickinson's other books so much- Eva- it's about a girl who suffers a terrible accident and to save her life, her consciousness is medically transferred into the brain of a living chimpanzee. Trust me, it's crazy and weird and good. So I always try to find another Peter Dickinson book I like, have tried Bone from a Dry Sea two or three times and never even got through two chapters. Yes, dry. And Boring.
