"The Daily Coyote" by Shreve Stockton

This is my book review for "The Daily Coyote" by Shreve Stockton.

First off, I'd like to say that this memoir was absolutely FANTASTIC. And that's a lot coming from me, because I usually will snore off to something like that... no non-fiction for me, thank you very much. But THIS story, for some particular reason, drew me in sooo quickly. Perhaps it was Stockton's gorgeous photography abilities, or the fact that it was about her raising a coyote in Wyoming, but whether it was any of those or another thing, I could NOT put this book down for the freakin' LIFE OF ME.

Stockton's writing is amazing; the way she puts words together and make them flow so easily is just captivating! I loved the way ((and this is going to sound absolutely nerdy)) she used similes and metaphors to describe her little coyote she was raising, Charlie. The story is both interesting and heart warming... i mean, the way that Charlie and the orange tom cat Eli act like siblings together is probably the most adorable thing I've ever read--and seen--in a long time.

As I said before, the story is heartwarming and definitely a fantabulous read, I TOTALLY recommend it. And here is Shreve Stockton's website as well, you should totally check it out here.

Five outta five stars!!!!!!

READ THE BOOK.
