I really enjoyed this book - particularly the chapters recounting the wolf's history through myth and literature. The hardest-to-read chapters were the ones recounting the many tortures mankind has inflicted upon the wolf. Some of these sections were stomach-turning and emotionally heart-wrenching. What surprised me the most about this book was that there was not more on convergent evolution and the early history of men and wolves. Still, it was a fascinating book and a terrific read.
