Autumn 2005 Review:

Book Cover My Father the Werewolf

Henry Garfield

Simon & Schuster Children's

© 2005

    I read My Father the Werewolf. It was a good book. I couldn’t put it down. Some of the situations seemed real, but others seemed more of fantasy. This book as one of the best by far I have ever read. I thought the characters were real in the ways they dealt with problems. This book would be best if read by teenagers and young adults alike. I would not recommend this book be read to or by children under ten. I say this because children cannot separate reality from fantasy so they might get confused or scared. Also, the language is a little vulgar for children and some situations are not appropriate. Situations about drugs and alcohol and the graphic images of the dead animals, people, etc. I can honestly say that I like this book because of its many visuals.

      My mother also read this book, and she’s 35. She also couldn’t put the book down. She hopes there is a second part to this book. In fact, she even told her friends how good it is and many would like to read it. That’s al I can say about the book, but if you like to be taken into the story, this book takes you in until the last second.
