This is a short Novella with gorgeous illustrations. The only fault I have with this story is that it is too brisk, there is no real character development most of the characters are introduced at the beginning of a chapter and die by the end of the chapter a quick four pages later. I love King and enjoy his short stories above his novels but this lacks his usual punch because there is no connection to any character. I had been spoiled on the mystery of the werewolf because I have seen the film adaptation Silver Bullet several times and had looked forward to reading how it played out on page but the back and forth between Marty and the werewolf was simply not on the page. To be honest while I enjoyed the book I surprisingly prefer the movie.
I read this book during a 24 hour readathon and it was the perfect quick read! I love Stephen King's writing, and the drawings are wonderful as well. The werewolf in this book is no gentle Remus Lupin or kind hearted Sam from Shiver, this werewolf is straight out of a horror novel. Loved the characters and townspeople.
The very first book I read by Stephen was The Green Mile then It and then The Cycle of the Werewolf. I absolutely love his writing. He is great. There are some very macabre(revolting, disgusting) things meaning pictures in this book but...ITS STEPHEN KING! I like this book a lot. It is about how every month people are dying and no one knows why. This boy, Marty, is confined to a wheelchair and one night he is outside playing with fireworks. The werewolf comes out of no where but don't worry Marty lives. He wounds the werewolf and becomes intrigued with the werewolf. It goes on to talk about who the werewolf is and what Marty does about it. This book is a really good thriller, but all of Stephen King's books are.
