Harry is in a class by himself, living in the human world and practicing wizard magic which many don't understand. I also like how he makes comments directly to the reader as a secret to the characters in the book. In this installment, violent killings are occuring in Chicago around the full moon. So yes it is about werewolves, but the how and why behind it make up the book. Harry finds himself in hot water by chapter 3 and stays that way through out the book. He makes enemies of his friends and friends from enemies. This is a different take on how werewolves are formed and I learned there are many types of werewolves too. There are funny, sad, LOL moments, and a very strong story behind it all.
