Summary: The most fun I've had reading in years!
Review: "Howling Mad" is one of Peter David's first books, and ranks as one of his best. Why this gem was out of print for so long is beyond me. Peter David has always had a talent for adding comedy into his stories without making them simply an excersise in silliness. And the plot, about a wolf bitten by a particularly nasty werewolf, is wholly original. And lets not forget about the vampire...or the beautiful girl...or the...oh, just by all means READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: werewolf becomes man every full moon
Review: "Howling Mad" has a wonderful premise, but falls short of its potential....about a werewolf let loose in New York City who turns into a man once a month. Some chuckles, but a disappointment after his sidesplitter "Knight Life"....

Summary: Everything happens for a reason.
Review: Although I did not find this novel as funny as the Sir Apropos trilogy, it did have it's moments (Not many things have been able to surpass those books). Peter David did a terrific job in giving this type of a story substance; the story wasn't just about a wolf being bitten by a werewolf but a clever way of executing how animals must think humans behave. Also, everything that occured happened for good reason: Darlene's purse, bat breaking, and not to mention a cavity filled mouth. This was worth the read and I would definitely recommend to friend.

Summary: Great story
Review: Although the ending leaves a few questions unanswered, this book was very memorable. David is very to the point, and very clever in writing his story. David is able to tell an all around amusing story, with memorable characters, and memorable scenes.

Summary: Funny fable about ManWolf misadventures.....
Review: Another great effort from the pen of Peter David. He has a great mixture of action, horror and humor which makes reading his books so enjoyable. My favorite characters were Joshua Wolf & Duncan the vampire. Darlene was great too but Mr.David always writes a great female character--strong and tender. I hope to read more of the misadventures of Josh and Darlene (sequel maybe? )

Summary: Great story
Review: Everyone knows what a werewolf is right? A man bitten by a werewolf becomes a wolf during the full moon each month. Classic, dependable, predictable and boring. So that happens to a man, but what if a wolf is bitten by a werewolf? Well he becomes a man three nights a month that's what happens!A completely different twist to the story with predictably hilarious results. HOWLING MAD delves into uncharted territory here with a short lighthearted tale of the poor wolf laden with the curse of becoming a man each months. Although not exceptionally well written, it could be tighter and the characters shortcuts in learning language and human customs are a little too contrived, it is funny and fun to read. A little light reading to wile away an hour or two. Don't expect too much and I think you will enjoy the ride. It's pretty average but I still RECOMMEND it.

Summary: If you hate to laugh while reading, don't read this..
Review: I can't believe I waited so long to read HOWLING MAD. Peter David takes a traditional mythical creature and stands it on its head. "Josh" is a standard timberwolf that runs into trouble when he's bitten by a werewolf. At the full moon he starts turning into a human man. This story follows his trials and tribulations of trying to accept his transformation, being taken far away from his forest and then trying to return to his pack. Along the way he encouters Darlene, a co-dependent do-gooder who falls in love with him; Duncan, the vampire, who leads a rather non-traditional vampiric existence; and the werewolf himself who is intent on destroying Josh. Josh struggles between his wolf self and his human self, and it's a scream to watch how he develops as a human man (no enlightened savant here, it's beer and television all the way). The story is told by Josh as a series of recollections to an unseen writer who is a friend of Darlene. The characters are quirky, the plot is fantastic, and even the wolves have funny dialogue. I laughed so hard throughout the novel that people started to ask if I was alright! It's funny, it's fast-paced, and it's delightfully tongue-in-cheek. This one is a keeper!
