Narrative During Books The Loop
This has been recommended to me by several friends here on GR, and while I trust their judgment...I still didn't expect to fall in love with this story as quickly as I did. Before the plot gets going, Evans introduces you to a cast of rich and varied characters that are alone worth reading the book for. I was so caught up in their lives that before I knew it I was surrounded by a plot of wolves and intrigue! The story was so realistic, there was quite a bit of detail of how the wolves live, how the various Wildlife crew members and biologists studied them, and also weaved through the story were stories about how they had been hunted and trapped for over 100 years in Hope, the city in which the story takes place. I recommend this very highly...it was at times gut-wrenching, beautiful, terrible and heroic. This was my first Evans, but it won't be my last!Rating Containing Books The Loop

This is a very emotional book. It gives you the ups and downs of wolves being reintroduced after almost becoming extinct. Evans does such a great job of giving both sides of the issue that you can easily see why it is such a controversy. His descriptions put you right in the middle of the story, very well done.
My mother suggested this book to me at a young age. She loved Evan's other book, The Horse Whisperer, and since she knew I love wolves, she had to get me this book. It was one of the best things my mother ever gave me. I still own a copy of it and anytime I don't have a good book to read, I'll always fall back on that one. The story is very solid, the grammar, mechanics, and plot all have sound bases, but that's not why you love a story, that's just what makes you able to love it. I connected
The Loop deals with two of my favourite scenarios, that of wolves and living in the wilds through four seasons. This is the well written story of a community divided by the suspected killing of ranch cattle by wolves. It pits angry ranchers and townspeople against the Federal Dept of Wildlife and Fisheries, biologists and environmentalists.Helen, a biologist working on her Phd, is called to track and monitor the seemingly guilty pack of wolves, all the while living in a remote cabin in the
I enjoyed this book but was surprised that I didn't come away with a totally clear picture of what the author believed was the answer to wolf reintroduction. It was very clear at the beginning that the wolf "was thinking" about getting the baby vs. the cattle. And then throughout the book there was sympathy built for the wolves and the biologists because of the rash and selfish way that the ranchers approached everything. But I thought the secret release of the new alpha couple at the end was
Excellent read! very creative,interesting and an enjoyable storyline that was well research in animal up-bringing..a nice book for animal lovers also (paperback!)
Sparks seems to truly understand small town life and the work involved in ranching. This time, he does for wolves what he did for horses in "The Horse Whisperer." Okay, not really, but he writes a compelling novel with building conflict between the biologists who want to protect the wolves and the ranchers who want them eradicated in order to protect their livestock. There is a long-standing hatred between the cattlemen and the wolves and an incident brings this conflict to a near war. Remember,
