Conspicuous Consumption (The World of Darkness: Werewolf)

Rating:
Summary: Hmm...
Review: I'm not sure what to make of this book. It's so cliche-riddled; I often felt like I'd seen or read certain things before. On one hand, the way the author portrays the characters is amusing, but on the other hand, it tends to get slightly irritating as well. One minute, they're these cute little kids, then later on they're supposed to be all heroic and everything. Ultimately, I can only recommend this book to hardcore White Wolf or Werewolf: the Apocalypse fans, or to people who think they have to read every fantasy / horror / sci-fi book they can...if you can find it. Otherwise, you're not missing a whole lot.

Summary: Ugh
Review: If this is typical of the average author that White Wolf lets portray their Werewolf: the Apocalypse setting, they're in big trouble. I was completely revolted at his utter lack of basic biological knowledge (and his assumption that his readers are just as ignorant), and his narration of the football game scene left me completely lost, since the narrator assumes you're an avid football afficianado and don't need anything explained. There was a certain lack of suspense, the plot moved like a two-toed sloth, and I had no particular emotions for any of the characters. Don't waste your money on this drivel. If I could rate it with zero stars, that's what it would have gotten from me.
