Description:
Jodi Picoult`s twelfth novel is permeated with themes from Dante`s INFERNO. Daniel Stone, a successful graphic novelist, is working on a new book about a man not unlike himself who is able to morph into a bloodthirsty animal named Wildclaw when his anger is roused. Daniel`s wife, Laura, is a professor at a local college, where she specializes in Dante. Their 14-year-old daughter Trixie has successfully entered the social scene, even dating the star of the high school hockey team. When Trixie is raped by her boyfriend and Laura`s affair with a student is revealed, Daniel becomes gripped by his long-buried past as the tough white kid raised among Eskimos, and, in his rage and confusion, he finds it necessary to take action that will have far-reaching consequences for everyone he loves. Picoult`s haunting tale, in which Wildclaw`s story and Daniel`s intertwine, is illustrated with art by the comic-book artist Dustin Weaver.

Customer Reviews
Definitely a page turner with a great ending but with a twist. Picoult will leave you wanting to read more of her books. Interestingly enough, she brings back some of her charaters from other books into her newer ones. This book is informative, moving and is well written. Characters are well researched and one can get hooked on them.
