THE LAST WEREWOLF HUNTER by William Woodall is a set of three short stories. In my opinion the combination of down-to-earth story-telling in a classic style and near effortless conflict resolution made The Last Werewolf Hunter: The Complete Series by William Woodall a perfect middle grade read. However, given the main character's background it's a natural extension of his personality and therefore acceptable. The only thing I could really find fault with is the overuse of cliches. Due to the character voice, the Christian message comes off as a sharing of ideas rather than a sermon and adds to the charm of the entire series. This was something I thought was perfect for the age range the books are written for.Īlong with a compelling story is a strong message of a young person finding and growing into an understanding of his relationship with God.
The conflicts in each of the stories were rather simple and easily resolved by the characters, though they do grow increasingly challenging in each book. The voice had that down-to-earth, southern charm that instantly makes the reader feel like she's listening to a friend tell a tall tale on the back porch or perhaps lying next to the young man on the cover, listening to his life story.
