Book Reviews of Brendan Wolf

Book Review: Breathtakingly beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars

Brendan, a man branded by his childhood, who cannot put his life order and who is desperately searching for his identity, not realising that happiness is just around the corner. But Brendan's longing for family ties is stronger than anything, even when in his case it's a dead end street. Beautifully and extremely well written, impressive. And Brendan's love for books and reading (and dogs) is heartwarming.

Summary of Brendan Wolf

Who is Brendan Wolf? It all depends on who you ask.

* To the staff of a Minneapolis nursing home, he's the devoted partner of a much older man who's recently suffered a debilitating stroke.

* To the women of a conservative, Christian pro-life organization, he's the tireless volunteer grieving over the recent loss of his wife and their unborn child.

* To one gay activist, he's the unaffectedly charming, yet directionless and unemployed man that he's fallen hopelessly in love with

* To his brother and his brother's wife, he's the lynchpin of a scam that will net them enough money to start their lives over somewhere new.

* To the general public, he's an armed and dangerous fugitive

All of these people - and yet none of them - Brendan Wolf is an ambivalent lover, reluctant conspirator, counterfeit Christian, and, most of all, an unemployed daydreamer obsessed with a dead man.
From the author of the award-winning The Year of Ice, this is a tour-de-force - a compelling, hilarious, heart-breaking novel about one utterly typical, and completely original, figure: Brendan Wolf.
