Rating: Summary: Simplistic but satisfying Review: Daniel Cohen's "Werewolves" is really a childrens book in adult clothing. It is written in a straightforward, easy to read manner that is appropriate for younger readers. Mr Cohen makes no attempt to impress the reader with scholarly musings or voluminous research, instead using a number of interesting anecdotes, historical conjectures and mythological references to weave an interesting albeit shallow examination of the werewolf phenomenon through the ages. Werewolves makes an excellent first excursion into the world of the lycanthrope and the paranormal. For those new to the subject matter, it is excellent. For anyone looking for a deeper examination of the subject matter, the book will be disappointing.

Rating: Summary: A very good book, and informative Review: It has many subjects on werewolves, such as people who thought they were werewolves and went to trial, to werewolves of the internet. A very good book for anyone (such as myself) interested in werewolves
Rating: Summary: Very enriched as to how werewolves has survived in time. Review: The novel is very enriched in information. I love this book. It was written by a great writer, with a great imagination. I hope that one day I will be able to write a book as good as Daniel Cohen.
