The Tenderness of Wolves Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Well written coupled with a truly suspenseful story. I enjoyed it. "

" There is no doubt about it : Stef Penny is an excellent writer. Her great use of description creates an eerie tone to this novel. What she is not good at, is creating a storyline that will really draw the reader in. I found that too many plot twists were revealed toward the end of the novel and then not all was wrapped up. This may have been an attempt at literary intrigue but I merely found it irritating. "

" Great language. Pretty good plot. "

" I enjoyed it, but I didn't 'love' it. It is an engrossing story, in a well depicted milieu I have not often encountered in print, but with two too many digressions for me. In the end I was left wanting as all loose ends were carefully tied up, but without a sense of satisfaction. I would have preferred either more ambiguity, or completion. Therefore, in my mind, the book was neither highly literary, nor a simply great yarn. "

" I liked this story set in the wilds of Canada in the 1800's (if I am remembering the correct century). Murder, motherhood, marriage, love all pondered well. "

" Good book, albeit the ending's a bit unclear. "

" This book makes me wish there was an excellentreads.com website as describing it as a good read is to not do it justice. A pleasure to read. "

" Really dug this book. This is my favorite setting for a novel: frontier-land. I can't believe this is SP's first book; the story-telling is excellent. Would definitely recommend. "

" Very different...slow to get into, but the story was interesting. "

" Really enjoying this book, well written and captivating. "

" A beautiful, elegiac and harsh read. Steff Penny clearly demonstrates her philosophical and theological (but not religious) background and this is a joy to read. "

" This will be one of my favorite books of the year, a story of a mother in a Far West community and her son. Very suspenseful and well-written. "

" Interesting & diverse characters, but i could not wholly access them. Just short of being magic for me. "

" I asked my mother to babysit so I could go to work on the weekend, but secretly snuck away to read this book, it was THAT good! It's a mystery about a murder, but really it's a story about a community in the late 1800s in Northern Canada fur territory. It's also a bit of a love story. "

" A female protagonist and a book written by a woman in a setting I like -the Canadian frontier in the 19th century. I had to read it - and I wasn't disappointed. Definitely one for Paula. "

" Sublime and divine! "

" I thought this a very good first novel and, as a first, gave it four stars when it is more a 3 and a half. "

" I enjoyed the way this book was written. I liked how it gave the different views by different people in eash chapter. I like to read murder mysteries and this book kept me going. "

" There were to many people in and i thought it was very confusing. "

" I didn't warm to the characters at all but enjoyed the story despite that. "

" I needed a book to read on my flight to Georgia--I picked this from all the typical airport bestsellers and took a chance on it--it was a perfect read: well crafted characters and a mystery you couldn't solve in four chapters. And wolves! "

" Soggy around the edges "

" This is a good book and I enjoyed it but it didn't turn out to be as much of a mystery book as I thought it would be. "

" This book is so amazing. The story has so many twists and turns, but they are all woven together seamlessly. "

" Quite good overall. A very entertaining read. Not quite as good as I heard it would be but certainly well worth reading. I'm still a little unsure of how I feel about the ending. I get what she was trying to do, but it is a little unsatisfying. "
