Found the beginning a little confusing/distorted although I think this was the authors intent as the wolf was very caught up in himself to begin with. It came together as I read on and a powerful connection emerged between Africa and the wolf, who both had such negative human experiences and told their tales in a 'fable' style.
I did find myself having to go back and check who was grey wolf and who was blue wolf at one point in the story; I agree with other bloggers that a second read, knowing the ending, would give better comprehension and flow to the book as a whole.
I think children would enjoy reading this and many 'right or wrong?' environmentalist discussions could come from it.
