Review: very silly werewolf tale
Rating: 2 out of 5

It had 2 reviews,  one 5 and one with 1 star,  and no real reason for the one star,  so I thought I'll risk it. But it's much closer to one than 5 stars.  Very silly tale about a young man who lived next door to five Russian brothers (Lowell brothers,  not even remotely a Russian name).  When he comes back at age 25 to settle the house after his parents died,  he is enmeshed in their world once more.Sometimes these sorts of books have an intensity or gravitas in their own world,  or they are deliciously tongue in cheek. This book took itself seriously but gave no intensity and frankly,  5 brothers is about 2 too many - I couldn't differentiate between them,  and after a while I didn't even care.  I have to finish a book to give it 3 stars,  I didn't finish this one,  so it gets 2.  (one would be unreadably bad. This wasn't unreadable,  it was just not engaging or passionate or crazy enough)
