I finished my first book of May, though I'm not entirely sure that it counts.  Anyway, today is when I finished it, so there is that.

The book I read was 'The Wolf Gift' by Anne Rice.  I love Anne Rice's writing style, and I've read almost all of her 30-something books.  This was one of the few I didn't care for, or thought it would have been more interesting if she'd gone in another direction with it or fleshed out some of her ideas more.  Frankly, I could have used another 30 pages of conversation between some of the characters, (or just to hear some of them talk, which they don't) and lost a lot of the meandering thoughts of the narrator.  Also, I didn't like a couple of the major characteristics of the wolves, I feel like it would have been more interesting if she'd tightened up a few things in the mythology and done some other things differently.  On the whole it was extremely enjoyable but the kind of well-crafted world I expect from her was lacking.
