This book is a great book if you really like fantasy books. It doesn't really have a plot, to tell you the truth, but it takes you through the journey of Myron, a boy who was disfigured in an accident that he doesn't remember at all. It starts off with a comment on human nature "A shameful fact about humanity is that some people can be so ugly that no one will be friends with them. It is shameful that humans can be so cruel, and it is shameful that humans can be so ugly." It connects with him because he's so ugly, no one likes him. He is a lycanthrope, and throughout the whole book he's trying to figure out what animal he is. He has absolutely no recollection of his past. The authors imagination is wonderful, and I love the cover design. It gets a bit confusing because of all the people and places Myron meets, so if you forget stuff very quickly, this book will become very confusing to you. The one thing I don't really like is that it's told in second person. Arthur, another lycanthrope, tells use about Myrons journey. While he tells it well, and with a bit of humor, I personally like reading books in first person because then I know what they're thinking, and I can connect with them faster. But overall it was a great book to read.
