Talulla Rising Glen Duncan 9780307595096 Books

I am a huge fan of Glen Duncan's writing, I think he's one of the most brilliant authors of our time. The way he spins a tale, draws the scenery and pulls you in are nothing short of wonderful. Add to that his word choices and you're pretty much guaranteed a perfect novel.

I enjoyed Talulla Rising, but not nearly as much as its predecessor, The Last Werewolf, and that isn't due to the story, but do to the protagonist. Jake Marlowe was a relate-able character to me, he was likable and enjoyable, I would have enjoyed having a cocktail with him. Talulla, however, is somehow less human. I understand that she was holding back her emotions for most of the book, I'm kind of like that myself in that I put my feelings on hold when I have to get something done- hysteria isn't productive. However, it just managed to make her kind of unlikable for some reason- I wish I could explain it better than that, but I can't. I did still like the book, but unlike The Last Werewolf, I'm doubtful that I'd read it again.

Talulla Rising Glen Duncan 9780307595096 Books Reviews

It rose to the challenge of a good sequel.

I will admit it took a while for it to win me ... I really loved The Last Werewolf and initially thought that this was a second rate sequel.

This was a much faster paced book with many action sequences and lacking the rather cute literary references from TLW. TLW was witty and clever, TR is gritty and dramatic. The was a surfeit of sex in TLW but in TR it was way over the top. I don't feel that Duncan does female voice of Talulla as well as world weary Jake in TLW.

But ... still ... I enjoyed it. It is a well constructed page turner. Characters had depth. The premise Duncan constructed is thought out and the plot is plausible (ok ... I know it is a fantasy ... but it still has to believable!) ... background is provided, threads are knitted together ... and part 3 is set up!
I have been a fan of Glen Duncan ever since I read "I,Lucifer". His flawless command of language and mood is unmatched. He keeps the story going and describes the struggles of his characters without fear. He makes the mundane sound beautiful. He can probably make the task of watching paint dry sound exciting.

He uses phrases like "career of moral slippage", "vertigo of the heart", "a crucifixion by contraries", "image of futile ejaculation", "a conversational aphrodisiac" and so many more.

The story keeps a breathless pace as the lead character Talulla looks for her lost child. The author makes you feel her suffering, doubt and disappointments at every turn. But he doesn't make her weak or helpless. She's a werewolf after all and you see her vicious nature many times in the book.

This is a fitting continuation to The Last Werewolf and just as superbly written. I hope he writes another. Am dying to read more about Rimsha.

A great read.
A perfect companion to The Last Werewolf and much better than By Blood We Live, which I'm sure was just written under contractual obligation and definitely shows it. What a disappointing final novel.... but back to Talulla.

Finally-- a strong willed, imperfect, unorthodox, and shockingly realistic female protagonist. Go figure, written by a man. Talulla's story is a gripping and intense read that takes unpredictable turns and is ultimately a delicious, dirty treat of a read.

If you like the series so far, I'd stop here, frankly. But for what it's worth, The Last Werewolf and Talulla Rising are absolutely worth sniffing out.
I am not a good book reviewer, I just like to read books of all kinds so bear with me. I enjoyed Mr. Duncan's first effort "The Last Werewolf" as his writing style is very literate and moves right along. With this second effort it very good writing style, but the story line was lacking. It seemed to skip around too much to suit me and there was a general uptick in violence and sex! I don't mind that if the story line can support it. This line did not.
To me is was fragmented and it seemed he was searching for a thread and never really found it.

I very much liked the change of pace from the normal mysteries I like to read and his first book was my first look at a werewolf story! He made it believable. Not so much with this entry.

I think I am pretty much done with this, story line and will move on.
i read the last werewolf the first book, and i had a really hard time getting into it, i had to have my friend kelsey read it to tell me it was worth reading. so when i get it through it i found it to be a funny, dark, sexual and action fulled book.

Talulla rising was just the same, the only difference was i enjoy this book from the beginning . it hooked me in from the first page. this is book we learn what happned to Talulla after jack( her werewolf lover and former last werewolf) was beheaded and killed. Talulla , at the end of the last werewolf , find herself Pergant. the only pregant werewolf in history. in the beginning of this book, we find Tallula 7 months into her Pregance. she ends up giving birth in werewolf form and as a little boy, but that momment is short lived, for two reason, she feels nothing for her wolf child and 2nt vampires come and steal him from her. within that same hour she realizes she's still giving birth, to a girl. she had had twins. through the book you see through her eyes the strange feeling of having children, who are werewolves, and children she has a hard time connecting too. she also tryed to get her son back from the vampire's who want to use him to call forth a long sleep leader of thiers.

i won't tell you how it ends, don't want to give it away. ;)
