The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of… af Rick McIntyre
Learned a lot about both wolves and consequently dogs. It was interesting how different the personalities of the wolves are. It is mostly a summary of field notes that are loosely made into a narrative, purportedly about wolf 8, but really seemed to follow 21 as much if not more. I was kind of dreading finishing the book because I was worried that 21 was going to kill or fight 8, but thankfully that wasn't the case. I wish the wolves had names instead of numbers but that wasn't how they studied the wolves. I will probably read the sequels.… (mere)
McIntyre paints a very detailed picture of life in Yellowstone for the wolves who were relocated from Canada to reintroduce wild wolves into the park. Some of the details are fascinating, but others are quite repetitive and mundane. I appreciated the author's huge investment of time observing the wolves, and his choice to share their stories with the world.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Absolutely not for everyone. McIntyre loves his subject and, while that rubs off some on the casual reader, it won't make this a book that you just cannot put down. I read this slowly in bits and pieces and found that to be enough. A must-read if you have an interest in the subject, I'm sure, but otherwise not your best choice.
My least favorite of the series. It has more humans, especially McIntyre himself, than the sequels. It still provides good background and context, but the other books stand out better with their complete focus on the wolves.
