Good listen

The foreward is a little preachy and condescending, but once the actual story begins it's very good. The performances were good with Kate Mulligan being the best.

I got more out of it than I expected!

I downloaded this book due to my great interest in Wolves with a desire to learn more about them. I did that. What I did not expect however, is the emotion I felt from listening to the stories of these wolves. There undoubtedly are lessons we can learn from these fascinating creatures. They have shown to be selfless, caring, clever, forgiving and creatures of greater depth than we give them credit for. Listening to this great insight into wolves has caused me to reflect on my own life in becoming more pure in my intentions and actions. I also feel a greater appreciation for my own canine companion. I would recommend this book to any prospective listeners.

Absolutely loved it

Well written, well narrated. Completely captivating. I don't think I have ever been totally taken by a book like I have with this

Nostalgia

As someone who grew up watching this documentary and falling in love with the pack, it was quite refreshing hearing this book. It brought back my dreams of one day starting a nature preserve for wolves in North America. I feel as though this book compels me to mirror, in some aspects, the life of mans first friend.

Amazing story

I would give this book 10 stars if I could.
I wish I could go live with wolves!

Fantastic book!

A must read

This beautiful representation of wolf life is an essential read. It’s eye opening how ugly humans are when it comes to a flagrant disregard for life. This book shows the real ramifications of human arrogance. Having Wisconsin open up its wolf hunting season using barbaric and cheap kill tactics makes me disgusted. The book is a first hand account of the sanctity of a wolf pack and how human ignorance is destroying them.

Moving and educational

I usually don’t write reviews but this book moved me so much. I found myself laughing and crying in the same chapter. I think the wolf can teach us a lot about how to be better, but only if we listen and let them.
