Go get this book right now and read it. I don't care if you already have read it. Read it again. I don't care if you know what happens because you've seen the movie. Read this book.
The voices are strong and vivid and the story is compelling and beautiful. It aches with honesty. It fires up readers. Writing about it seems trite because it speaks for itself.
So go read it. Then seen the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but I will as soon as I get the chance. This book is fantastic.

Robert McCammon's The Wolf's Hour
My husband teases me for my love of supernatural elements in novels. When he gets curious about what I'm reading, he asks, "how's your wizard/vampire/werewolf novel going?" One day, he said, "if you want to read some GOOD stuff with werewolves, read this." He tossed me a much-worn copy of Robert McCammon's The Wolf's Hour.
I always love reading something recommended to me by someone I know and love. This was a great opportunity to see what the hubs considered "good". I knew I married him for more than his dashing good looks and sparkling personality...
This book was good. Unlike most of the supernatural junk being cranked out at a ridiculous pace, this novel is not primarily about the supernatural elements. Rather, it is a World War II story who's protagonist just happens to have the ability to morph into a wolf on command. A skill like that definitely comes in handy when fighting the Nazis.
Of course, he's also incredibly sexy (with at least one or two juicy "not-for-the-kids" scenes tossed in to keep you interested) and there is a love story included for good measure. Action, adventure, (ahem)action...all great elements to an enjoyable novel.
In short, it was a good one. Thanks, sweet hubs!
