Summary: Dated
Comment: This was a very short book. I appreciate the brevity of the writers of yore, nonetheless I felt it could have done with some fleshing out - especially at the end. Perhaps, reading it from today's perspective, I felt some of the premises to be prepostorous. It was, however, solidly written and strongly plotted.

One other minor quibble, I felt like I could tell when the author's shifted from one to the other.

Rating: 5
Summary: Conformity and rebellion
Comment: I would never describe Wolfbane as great literature but it does have staying power. I read Wolfbane more than 35 years ago and still think of the novel's plot and ideas from time to time. It probably has the greatest appeal to young men who are feeling rebellious and nonconformist. But we all need help figuring out human nature and deciding what kind of human being we want to be. This is what makes Wolfbane a good read.

Summary: hackers vs. the aliens
Comment: Too bad it's out of print--an interesting angle to the invading-aliens-make-us-docile story. Worth looking for.
