Minor spoilers throughout.

The story started out kinda slow - well-written, but slow.

Then it picks up once Marty Coslaw is introduced. How about that name? Everytime I read it I was reminded of the food coleslaw. Anywho, the story needed him and his family and once it had it it was off and running.

I really enjoyed the wife beater getting his just dues. And the way he gets it - magnifico! Really chose a poor way to get ahead in the world. Got ahead of himself. Was a little too head strong. Okay, I'll stop now.

Then ending was awesome, even though the setup was ridiculous. But it's a story about a werewolf so suspension of disbelief is required. If you're a werewolf reading this and I completely dismissed you - seek professional care. You got issues, Stan.

Anywhoo the best uncle of the year came through and because of that the werewolf was vanquished.

I read the illustrated version, which I do not recommend as just by simply turning the page you'll have important bits of the story spoiled for you. Which always sucks.

Other than that, I liked it.
