Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A yucky book
Review: The summery from the back and first page gave me a totally different idea of what the book was all about. All it is is a book about a homo-sexual female that turns into a wolf every now and then. I would not recommend this book to any of my friends.

Rating: 0 stars
Summary: _Nadya_ has recently been reviewed in Publishers Weekly.
Review: They wrote: "A female werewolf roams the Old West in this deeply absorbing dark fantasy....With its strong heroines and passionate storyline filled with romance, adventur and dangers both physical and moral, this novel will appeal to a wide array of readers, not just those who shiver with delight when the moon is full...."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A surprisingly boring werewolf story
Review: This novel is a chronicle of a rather dull werewolf family. At the beginning of the book, we learn that Nadya's parents are good, honest, hard-working folk, who just happen to be werewolves. Despite the fact that Nadya's mother had been a prostitute before her marriage, neither parent has much depth to them. When Nadya comes of age then she, too, starts turning into a wolf, and discovers her sexuality. Frankly, I found it difficult to believe that any teenage girl could have such wisdom and insight of her body that she could behave so confidently at her first sexual encounter. Later, Nadya finds love with a woman out on the trail westward. Still later, when that relationship ends, she finally finds her lifelong mate, a man this time. Some writers portray bisexuality as a sign of great maturity, but I have my doubts. The female bisexual werewolf may be a new trend. This is the second one I have read about in the past year. Nadya, like her parents, doesn't seem to have a whole lot of depth. The most interesting thing about the novel was the description of Nadya's trip west, which takes up the central part of the book. Many of the hardships that Nadya and her companions face were endured by all who travelled across the American West. The wicked characters they encounter are all pretty shallow and stereotypical.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Idea in So-so Plot.
Review: This story is about female wearwolf finding her world in old USA. Nadya, the heroine, traveled from Missouri to California and finally set up near Astoria. Description about her travel is vividly written, not too much to feed up the imagination.

The plot, however, is too simple. Everything can be predicted from even in the first part of the story. The rushing in final part does not make the story interesting, instead it deprives the preasure in wandering more inside Nadya's world. The bias against her foes is also so much that it becomes comical. Nevertheless, the idea presented in this story is superb. Though the story will not linger long in memory, the understanding and appreciation of the wild gained from this book will be always remembered.

Summary: Good Idea in So-so Plot.
Review: This story is about female wearwolf finding her world in old USA. Nadya, the heroine, traveled from Missouri to California and finally set up near Astoria. Her character besides wildness and abnormal sexual desire, is those put out from comic's hero. Kind. Brave. Everything. Description about her travel is vividly written, not too much to feed up the imagination.

The plot, however, is too simple. Everything can be predicted from even in the first part of the story. The rushing in final part does not make the story interesting, instead it deprives the preasure in wandering more inside Nadya's world. The bias against her foes is also so much that it becomes comical. Nevertheless, the idea presented in this story is superb. Though the story will not linger long in memory, the understanding and appreciation of the wild gained from this book will be always remembered.
