Summary: I Loved It
Comment: The Loop was a Gripping and Intringuing, one of the best I have read. Nicholas Evens couldn't have wrote this any better. The characters seemed real and life like. The book takes place in Hope, Montana in the middle of the Rocky Mountians. Helen Ross is a fish and wild life officer who is a wolf bioligist. She tries to protect the wolfs from a city that dislikes the wolfs. She is went to Hope to study the wolves and is found to fall in love with Buck Calder Son. While this is going on she must try to move the wolves back into the rockies while a rancher tries to kill them from years of hatred by using a method called "the loop." I enjoyed the book very much because it had a difference of love and action. I recomend this book its a amazing story of the wolf and it tells what happened to them many years ago and how they survive today.

Summary: An enjoyable read
Comment: I enjoyed reading THE LOOP. It was interesting to find out about the behavior and family structure of wolves, which I consider beautiful creatures. The portrayal of animals in general and the adventures that occur in daily forest life were very descriptive and vivid -- almost to the point of being disturbing -- illustrating what lengths animals must go to in order to survive.
However, the characters were one-dimensional and predictable stereotypes. And I wish that writers did not feel that they always have to include romance in a story order to make it more interesting. It was kind of silly, and I think the two lovers would have been more realistically portrayed as friends or co-workers.
The writer obviously favored the environmentalists, and presented the ranchers as ignorant and aggressive lunatics. The ending was disappointing as well. Again, it was not realistic. I won't give it away, but I would have ended it differently.
But -- overall, I would recommend this book. It was an interesting and enjoyable read.

Summary: His best book yet
Comment: I read the Horse Whisperer and was greatly impressed. An aunt let my dad borrow this one, and I read it before he could. It's the classic battle of environmentalists versus cattle ranchers portrayed very well through all eyes. At the center of the battle is Luke, with blood ties to the ranching industry, but with his heart to the wolves. One of Evans' strongest points (in all his novels)is that he gives you this history of the characters so that you know what makes them tick. With Luke, you can feel the pressure he's under to be what he's supposed to be versus being what he wants to be. Evans does a remarkable job making all the characters human and portraying the reality behind the desire to reintroduce wolves and the ranchers' need to survive.
