Always insightful about human families, Picoult proves to be equally perceptive about animal ones in Lone Wolf.

the unfolding of the back stories of her characters that elevates Lone Wolf above the pack of books that appear every year...a well-written, thought-provoking story.

Lone Wolf for me, was good, but not her best work in my honest opinion.

Kirkus Reviews | 9 Jan 2012
the story is a more conventional soap opera of hospital, and later courtroom histrionics... Readers will care less about Luke’s prospects for survival than they will about the outcome for his wild companions.

linking the human family constellation to the structure of a wolf pack never quite works. Rather, it becomes a constraint which at best is simplistic psychology and at worst invites cliché.

A story about hope, anger, grief, love and relationships, Lone Wolf is realistic, compelling, moving and fascinating by turns. The more I read, the more I enjoyed it.

Picoult does an excellent job of portraying the complexity of the issues and the emotions of family members forced to decide whether to terminate life support. Less satisfactory was her ending.
