This is the first text I have read in a long time, that is from the perspective of a animal - exploring and experiencing 'life' from their point of view. I like the way the story starts in the present - it is as if I too was by the cage, watching this scene between wolf and boy. As the story progresses, the narration informs the reader of the complex emotions felt by these animals, that a human cannot understand. It is so interesting to read their intrigue and fear of 'us'. What I particularly like about this story so far, is the depth of information about these wolf experiences and how the author emgages the reader in what is happening, by writing in the present tense. I am thoroughly enjoying The Eye of the Wolf.. I am wondering what will happen to Shiny Straw?
