Publisher Description

A regular at the #1 spot on the New York Times best-seller list, Jodi Picoult crafts stories about family, love, and redemption. Here Picoult tells the tale of Edward Warren, an estranged son who faces a monumental decision when his father is left comatose after a terrible car accident. Edward wants to terminate life support, but his sister Cara wouldn't think of it. As the dilemma tears the family apart, Edward must examine whether his decision is based in mercy, or if he's subconsciously punishing his father for the fight that drove him to leave home years ago.

"This book was good, but I was a little disappointed with the ending. In other books that I've read by Jodi Picoult, I have always been taken by surprise at the end, however, this book's ending was predictable. I was hoping for more suspense. But otherwise, it was a good book and a quick read."

Quotes

  • “Picoult’s well-developed characters, compelling story, and authentic prose create a novel that many will undoubtedly call her best yet—which it just may be.” 

    — Newark Star Ledger
  • “Nobody in commercial fiction cranks the pages more effectively than Jodi Picoult.”  

    — USA Today
  • “Picoult returns with two provocative questions: can a human join a wolf pack, and who has the right to make end-of-life decisions?…Picoult as usual probes intriguing matters of the heart while introducing her fans to subjects they might not otherwise explore. You can always count on Picoult for a terrific page-turner about a compelling subject.” 

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Picoult runs with the wolves in her compelling latest, a blend of interspecies friendship and searing family crisis…The story also incorporates fascinating research about wolf packs as model domestic units. Does the family that howls together stay together? This page-turner will keep you wondering.”

    " I run a little hot and cold on Jodi Picoult's books and my reaction to Lone Wolf was similar. I fell in love with the wolf narrative - and was completely enthralled by Luke, the "wolf whisperer" who serves as the lightning rod for the book's commentary on how quality of life factors into end of life decisions, along with diverse opionions held by loved ones making such decisions. What was more difficult for me was to buy into the plotline of Cara's (Luke's daughter) enlistment of her own attorney to represent her point of view. I guess it's possible but I just couldn't see myself or any other 17-year-old I know taking these steps. That felt a bit contrived to me as did the organ donation messages sprinkled throughout the book - almost like Jodi wanted to be sure we were being educated as well as enthralled by the book. In the end, I am glad I read Lone Wolf, if for no other reason to learn more about these magnificent animals. "

    " 3.5 stars - Good book, I feel like Picoult's books had not been as good recently, but I really liked this one. Maybe it was the wolf angle (because I love them and they are gorgeous). I thought the story was fairly predictable, but I still enjoyed it. "

    " This was unfortunately one of the more boring of her books. I'm finding that reading every single book she has written is like reviewing each one thru a different character... always the same concept and outcome, some shockers and some pull you in, but Lone Wolf definitely didn't do that for me.

    " There is no writer who tells the story of a family better than Jodi Picoult. Her writing is brillant. She is able, with only her words, to make me think, feel, learn and for a little while become someone I am not. And someone I will never forget. I love taking a journey with Ms. Picoult. "
