An absorbing page turner! A "wolf man" is caught by trappers and taken to a psychiatric hospital. He is examined, prodded and questioned. Orders are written to send him to another psychiatric facility to be locked up the rest of his life. The doctor's wife, Robin, daringly smuggles the "wolf man" out of the hospital and takes him home with her. What follows changes the community and Robin's life. Wonderful story.From the back cover:"He was beautiful. He was innocent. And in the locked room where

I have been meaning to read another Alice Hoffman book since "Here on Earth" and have finally gotten around to it! And I loved this book! Something about her writing and characters just draws you in. Most of all, I enjoy reading unique stories, something above the ordinary, and this was sure it. Very interesting story.

Hoffman lives up to her hype of expressive words and phrases that convey setting, relationships, and character growth. Overall, this author is a master of the craft and will not disappoint those who look for structure and need a solid construct of story elements. As for the story itself, it was a strange read. Hoffman created a character that had been raised, and loved, by wolves. Having been hurt, he is 'rescued' and institutionalized in the hopes of civilizing him. However, the main character

It has been nearly decade and a half since the last time I've read this book. It is still as engaging and intriguing as it was the last time I've read it. I love the writing style and how the characters are portrayed. I'm glad I own this book.

The more Alice Hoffman books I read, the more I admire her. I neglected giving her a try for the longest time because she's more "mainstream" i.e. popular, and I consider myself someone who likes authors most people don't. But her books really speak for themselves and are amazing. This one was no exception. She draws you into a story no matter what it's about, and her actual writing ability is hypnotic. Several sections she wrote in _Second Nature_ about love and how it feels seem to go right to

I like Alice Hoffman's work more than I admire it, partly because her stories seem so easy. She tells an engaging story, scripts it neatly, and peoples it with well drawn characters. Second Nature is a lovely allegory about how our own best impulses are undermined by our uncertainties. Its making its hero a "feral boy" is a little implausible and a tad magical, but that is part of (and part of the point of) the book's charm. I enjoyed the book thoroughly, ripped right through it, was satisfied

I hope that eventually I'll be able to read off the books written by Alice Hoffman. I certainly have a long way to go but managed to quickly read Second Nature. I liked the well-developed characters, the concept, and of course, the writing style. She usually writes with more mysticism than she did in this novel, but she has written a novel that I enjoyed very much. It has depth, suspense, emotion, realistic settings, and a secret, sad romance.Alice Hoffman knows how to write about human nature.
