by Benjamin Percy
This book is so different from any werewolf stories I've read. You could almost substitute a culture or religion (one that has regular and then fanatical terrorist members). Also, much of the ww population sits on land with a highly desired resource. The government is involved and little wars sno...
„Red Moon“ von Benjamin Percy wurde mir im Oktober 2014 von Klingenfänger empfohlen, nachdem ich in einer Rezension den Gedanken äußerte, dass ich gern eine Werwolf-Vampir-Dystopie lesen würde. Ich wollte eine Geschichte erleben, die Vampirismus und/oder Lykanthropie aus der Fantasy-Ecke heraushebt ...

I listened to this one on audio. The narration, while good, was a bit slow at times making this one pretty darn long at 21+ hours. Red Moon was just ok for me. I thought parts of the story were interesting in concept and there were a few intriguing characters, but it never really took off for me. I ...
Not as literary as his previous book "The Wilding" but it's an interesting twist on the old trope of the werewolf and closer in spirit to The Passage.
I think my exact words to describe the book were 'Snooze Fest". Red Moon was boring with a capital B! I'm not even sure why I finished listening to the whole thing. It was just way too long. One of the things I didn't like was the explanation for the lupine virus came too late in the story. Th...
3.5/5I wanted to love this book - and in fact there were many aspects of it that I did love - but the symbolism of the werewolves hits you like a slap in the face. Werewolves are meant to represent every repressed minority in American/world history. They are shunned for being who they are and a fe...
In Benjamin Percy's Red Moon, the world is very similar to ours except for one key difference. The national threat is not terrorists from the Middle East but rather something a bit closer to home. Lycans, or werewolves, have long been protesting their treatment at the hands of the government, and th...
