Summary

Jacob Marlowe has lost the will to live. For two centuries he has wandered the world, enslaved by his lunatic appetites and tormented by the memory of his first and most monstrous crime. Now, the last of his kind, he knows he can't go on. But as Jake counts down to suicide, a violent murder and an extraordinary meeting plunge him straight back into the desperate pursuit of life.

Absolutely Exceptional

Engaging, gripping and read with extreme eloquence and refinement, this was an utterly compelling tale that left me as hungry as a wolf for more.

Brilliant

What did you like most about The Last Werewolf?

The strength of the story. I like the inner life of the main character. Such strong feelings and uncompromising story, well written

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Last Werewolf?

The point in the story where they visit the television producers house and at the end when Jake gets the good news.

What does Robin Sachs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Never heard him read before but I will look him up on the Audible system

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

When wanting the end became the beginning.

Any additional comments?

Very strong story well written - I have not heard of this author before but I will be looking for anything else he has produced.

Been there, done that

He's the last werewolf, how did he become one? Where did all the others go?

Couldn't put this down

Would you listen to The Last Werewolf again? Why?

I am not in the habit of listening to any book twice but might make an exception to this one. Full of surprises, not my normal type of book but so happy I took the chance on this one

Who was your favorite character and why?

The lead character, so
Well narrated and written I almost believed he actually existed

Which scene did you most enjoy?

This book although not a comedy as per say made me laugh out loud on several occasions throughout the entire book. Great stuff. Also a bit naughty!!!

Any additional comments?

The narrator was excellent. I'm a crime and thriller reader and not to keen on fantasy books that are to OTT. However I took a chance with this book and I am so pleased I did one of my favourite listens. There are no negatives and I have been recommending it to all my friends. Just buy it and enjoy. !!!!!!

Lots of them. Near the end and the end.

wonderfully preformed

the story is predictable and not that original but the narrative voice and written descriptions are the best of Glen Duncan's writing. The reading is very preformed Sachs has done wonders in bring the characters alive.

Fictiom at its best

Beautifully crafted. A glorious mixture of compelling storytelling, brilliantly drawn characters and excellent plot twists told in a literary style which would shame some Booker prize winners. This is fiction at its best.

Very disappointing

Expected something very dark and gory for a werewolf story. Instead was given something highly neurotic and frankly quite boring. Very much didn’t enjoy, listened to the whole book to try and give benefit of the doubt, but wouldn’t recommend
