I thought it was a little boring at the beginning, but after i got into the book i started to enjoy it. I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys a great story. Don't turn the book down after the first few pages, because if you do you will be missing out on a great book!

I absolutely didn't agree with this book!
I read this book for a class assignment and realized it had great vocabulary but quite often it got confusing me and my friends were completely confused at times I thought it was way to grown up. There were a couple times where it got a little mature and was not in any way appropriately suited for anyone under 11 or 12. I strongly disagree with the author. It is okay because it is very descriptive.

Not that good...
This is a bit inappropriate for 10-12 year olds because of the rape, but other than that it was good

great for middle schoolers
This was a good book. i think it is good for middle schoolers who can relate to the character who, like so many of them, is searching for their identity.

A beautifully woven tale...
Julie of the Wolves is a beautiful story about an eskimo girl, Miyax, who ran away from her village to the Alaskan tundra. There, she finds a pack of wolves, and slowly bonds with each of them, from bold, curious Kapu, to sleek, powerful Silver. This book is a wonderful book for anyone who loves animals, especially wolves, and appreciates good books.

Not a good children's book...
When I was almost 9 I was in book club at a nearby library, they chose this book. My friends and I can all agree that this book is interesting, but the rape made it inappropriate for kids our age.

Julie of the Wolves is one of the best books I've ever read. It gives a lot of good suspense when Miyax is left alone by the wolf pack and she has to live on her own.

Ehh.... not great, but not horrible.
Although it was WAY too short, and the author seemed to have cut everything off in the end, I enjoyed the beautiful and colorful descriptions of the Arctic landscapes. I thought the ending was just disappointing, because the leader of the pack is killed, her other wolf friends are basically shunned away by her, and her little bird dies. AND I almost forgot to mention, her father she thought was dead is found, but is a total different person, and after her welcomes her into his home to stay with him forever, she runs away from him. Horrible ending I'd say. Nothing special done to the ending.

Not good for kids under 13
I started reading this book when I was ten and loved it at the start because it had lots of information about wolves and I love animals, but then when the book went on it said how her husband ( who she was married to whe she was only about 13) tries to rape her, i put the book away and I haven't looked at it since. I strongly warn people about this. Above they wrote this under violence. For parents, I would read this book before letting your kids read it.

Torture Could Easily Be An Audio Tape of This Book On Endless Repeat
I read this book when I was in sixth grade (2010) and I, along with the rest of my class, thought this was the absolute worst book any of us have ever read. I will remember this book for all time as the single most boring and stupid book I have ever read. To start, our class rated the book 1-10 (1 being terrible and 10 being amazing) and out of a possible 200 (there being 20 students in the class) it received a 17. Many people burned this retched novel after completing the final test. As for me, I shredded it. This book makes absolutely no since, has no plot, and nothing to keep you interested in it. The main character (myax) has an arranged marriage by some aunt of hers after her father leaves her and her husband rapes her telling her his friends were laughing at him because he couldn't "mate with his wife". She then runs away and finds wolves and acts like wolves- barking and kneeling on all fours, and they trust her and feed her and trust her with their cubs (like that would happen). She spends most of the book describing how bitterly cold the arctic is and how white it is, along with what the puppy Jello did. The resolution to the book is her wolf friends are killed and she roams the arctic alone. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!! And if anybody would like a free, used copy of this terrible book just comment on this about wanting the book and I can arrange for that. I will even pay for the shipping because I NEVER want to see that book again. I may have shredded (and then burned the shreds) mine but my sister also has a copy when she was in sixth grade.

This book has it's ups and downs.
The book was fascinating and very informational. There were so many things about wolves that i had no idea of! But at around page 100, we find out why Julie, or Miyax, runs from her husband.
