This is one of her less depressing books, but still not a happy book. I liked the actions about the wolves, though I thought the saddest parts had to do with the wolves rather than the people. Do you think all the actions about pack behavior were accurate?
I suspected something happened similar to what we find out happens in the accident at the end. The daughter was just too guilt-stricken for it just to have been the drinking, but I couldn't imagine that he would have allowed her to drive.
I'm not sure I would have made the same decision at the end, at least not so soon. Give him at least a month to recover. I mean, he sort-of woke up when she was there, right?
This was a very interesting book... almost like two books in one. Because of the way the chapters are separated, a person could pick out only the parts entitled Luke and have an interesting account of wolves. In fact, I think I will suggest that Paul do that and see what his response is to it. I plan to look up www.thewolfcentre.co.uk and "The Man Who Lives with Wolves" by Shaun Ellis. Luke Warren was based on an actual person (Shaun Ellis) so I am very much inclined to believe what the author wrote about wolf behavior. What the author said about Shaun Ellis in her acknowledgements was very interesting.
Given my beliefs on the right to life it would be very difficult for me to be faced with that decision concerning another person unless that person has taken the time to sign a living will (which Paul has done). In the case of Luke Warren, I would have to trust the expertise of the doctors in my decision.
I was disappointed in discovering that Luke was a womanizer. That seemed very much out of character for him. That seemed out of place with the rest of his behavior.

I really wonder what happened to his wolf packs.
