Title: Charlie Bone and the Wilderness Wolf
Series: Charlie Bone - 6th book
Author: Jenny Nimmo
Read Before: no
Comments: A novel that relies more on the mysteriousness of the characters and backgrounds rather than on action and excitement. The Charlie Bone series has always made me feel as if it plays down the tension and importance of events in its storytelling. It presents a unique atmosphere in that things feel darker rather than bursting with energy. The story is interesting enough to keep your attention although the whole aspect of the wilderness wolf felt rather overrated and by the end of the book, it didn’t feel as if a lot of things had happened. Some of the characters’ motives and personalities are hard to understand, such as Dagbert Endless (the drowner), whom I can’t fathom since at times he seems alright and at others, he is a definite antagonist. It is a solid story and keeps your attention but a bit lacking on the wow factor.
Rating: 6.5/10
