Publisher Description

Then she opened her mouth to scream—and recognised me. It was what I’d been waiting for. She froze. She looked into my eyes. She said, “It’s you.” Meet Jake. A bit on the elderly side (he turns 201 in March), but you’d never suspect it. Nonstop sex and exercise will do that for you—and a diet with lots of animal protein. Jake is a werewolf, and after the unfortunate and violent death of his one contemporary, he is now the last of his species. Although he is physically healthy, Jake is deeply distraught and lonely. Jake’s depression has carried him to the point where he is actually contemplating suicide—even if it means terminating a legend thousands of years old. It would seem to be easy enough for him to end everything. But for very different reasons there are two dangerous groups pursuing him who will stop at nothing to keep him alive. Here is a powerful, definitive new version of the werewolf legend—mesmerising and incredibly sexy. In Jake, Glen Duncan has given us a werewolf for the twenty-first century—a man whose deeds can only be described as monstrous but who is in some magical way deeply human. One of the most original, audacious, and terrifying novels in years.

"Again i follow in the wake of my mother's reading path. In my defense i had this book on my radar screen before my mom told she was reading it. That said, i found it to be a page turner and a good book. I learned a movie studio has purchased movie rights to his latest novel I, lucifer so i picked that up to read before they make a movie out of it."

    " If you can stomach sexual explicitness and wolf-eating-man explicitness and enjoy smart, dark humor this may be for you. I enjoyed this book -- it's a crazy romp -- even though it was a huge stretch out of my typical reading. However, I tried the sequel just recently and could not get through it. "

    " I heard the author being interviewed on NPR and bought the book based on what I heard. Well crafted horror story with vivd writing. Lots of twists, turns and werewolf sex! Definitely an adult read. "

    " An entertaining read, really different (much more mass market) than Duncan's other stuff. You get the sense that he wasn't trying all that hard and wrote this book specifically so it could be auctioned off to Hollywood producers. Better him than E.L. James, though, right? "

    " Incredible book- very dark and disturbing, and hard to read at times, but I was fully immersed in it as soon as it started. Loved it! "

    " Glen Duncan is a powerful writer and manages to raise werewolves and vampires up from where Twilight has knocked them so low. I would have given this four stars, but he's a bit one-note in his voices throughout, and the ending twist was so predictable I saw it coming from halfway in the book. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " It was a great book, and was well told by the main character who often seemed quite maudlin at times but did perk up near the end of the book, but the story was well told and had a pretty unexpected ending that was not quite happy but was an okay one that maybe left it open for another. "

    " I was initially concerned this was little more than another examination of Men And Their Libidos wrapped in a fad, but it got better as it progressed. Rare is the book that can make me chuckle aloud at least three times. "

    " I'd heard great things about this book and was disappointed. I quit reading it because it was too vuglar, profane, and explicit for my taste and I thought I had a decent tolerance for the sake of good literature. "
