Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Percy has a lusty flair for describing destruction. . . . When Claire and Patrick take the field, the book lights up, and the writing possesses a resonant, emotional honesty. . . . The story is imaginative and lots of fun, and it will deservedly charm many readers."―Justin Cronin, New York Times Book Review

"Atmospheric . . . While some writers of paranormal novels wrap their creatures in romance and comic subplots, Percy has chosen a darker, more literary path. Red Moon is a morality tale cloaked in fur, fangs and social injustice. Werewolves are the monsters in the story, but the bête noire is humanity's moral decline."―USA Today

"Percy is an ace world-builder, creating a massive cast of characters and a surprisingly believable alternate history. . . . Devastating and darkly funny."―Entertainment Weekly (grade: A-)

"Percy's latest novel is a smart, action-packed political thriller. . . . It's a high-wire literary act that the author pulls off with panache."―Entertainment Weekly's "Must List"

"An intelligent, topical thriller."―LA Times

"Audaciously complex and hauntingly composed. . . . [Percy] ballasts his nightmare with a poet's more natural magic. . . . Fear, this book reminds us, is a beast that's always hungry."―Christian Science Monitor

"...a terrifically hairy werewolf novel."―Vanity Fair

"[A] stunning new read."―O Magazine

"Smart and brisk and often poetic...Percy knows how to draw intense, dramatic scenes as the world goes feral."―Ron Charles, Washington Post

"Terrifying and tense."―Chicago Tribune
