Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult tells the story of Luke Warren who has two families. A wolf one and a human one. Both are very entertaining and you will learn a lot from both. I loved this book very much! The characters of Luke and his daughter, Cara, were my favorites. There is not a lot of twists and turns in this one, but the main story is so gripping that you don't need all that.
(Gerard's review)
Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult is an interesting read and also thought
provoking about Luke, a family man who is also a naturalist who chooses
to join a pack of wolves in the wild for two years. He is divorced and
shares custody of his 17-yr.-old daughter. His gay son left at age 18
to live in Thailand after he and his dad had a falling out. The dad and
daughter were in a car accident which left the dad in a vegetable state
hooked up to a ventilator to stay alive. The brother came right home
when he heard and insists that Luke would not want to be kept alive in
that condition but the daughter holds out hope that he will get better
and they need to give him more time.
I liked this book pretty well but thought it dragged out more than
necessary. There was a lot about wolves that I found quite interesting,
but thought Luke was nuts for living with them. My favorite part was
when Cara got her brother to bring in one of her dad's wolves into the
hospital to try to get him to wake up when only the ventilator was
keeping him alive. I also like the brother-sister relationship. Jodi
Picoult tackled yet another controversial topic, euthanasia, in an
interesting way.
