I actually read this book a couple of years ago during its initial release but only recently purchased it for my girlfriend (who is enjoying her time with it as I write this). Sharp Teeth is a beautifully dark narrative on werewolves, gang warfare, politics and love. Written in a format akin to The Iliad or even Dante's Inferno, Sharp Teeth explores the relationship between a dog catcher and the woman he falls for--who also happens to be a werewolf--and not in the Hollywood, Twilight, or even Howling since. The presentation of the wolves herein are far more in line with actual wolves and dogs and grounds the story in a realm of realism that you just can't get with mythological beasts. I can't give acclaim this book enough and would recommend it to anyone tired of the melodramatic, politically-correct crap like Twilight that gets shoveled down the throats of the masses. Sharp Teeth is vicious, poetic, sensual, brutal and honest and deserves to be read. One of the best horror novel of recent memory that works as a romance and noir-thriller at the same time. The only complaint I had was in regards to the fate of two of my favorite characters toward the finale.*** SPOILER: Blue and Cutter. While the story does wrap itself up quite nicely, I would have appreciated more clarity on their denouements. As it is, one of these character's fates is presented in such a 50/50 way that it hints at an unneeded sequel after he endures a bullet to the head and is taken away by an attacking SWAT group for study--I guess? After following them for so long, I was just hoping for a bit more resolution with these two Bridge-playing brutes. Aside from that, I have nothing but praise... Oh, and I gotta say... Lark... He's simply one of the coolest characters who I've ever had the pleasure of reading about. Apparently Danny Boyle is slated to adapt it into a feature-length film, which could either be a godsend (as Boyle is a master when he wants to be: i.e.: Sunshine and 28 Days Later), or it could become another cinematic folly infected by a mainstream Twi-hard crowd (because, y'know, the constant castration of great material is what sells in Hollywood these days). Regardless of what happens, Sharp Teeth--as a book--is (and will remain) phenomenal.
Los Angeles has always disturbed me. All that sunshine. Those über-toned bodies. Packs of werewolves roaming the canyons and arroyos. It's enough to make any catlover nervous. In this awesome, exuberant, first book Toby Barlow strips away the city's thin veneer of civilization and lays bare its raw, violent, lycanthropic underbelly. It's the cross-species love story between dogcatcher Anthony and his damaged werewolf lover, which unfolds against a backdrop of drugs, murder, revenge, and the battle for pack dominance. It's noir, funny, riveting, tender, completely over the top, and by rights it shouldn't work at all. But it does - it's completely addictive and unexpectedly moving. Part of its power is a consequence of Barlow's choice to write it in free verse. The resulting rhythm gives the whole story a driving momentum that keeps the reader riveted -- I read the whole book in two sittings. The plot, which seemed inextricably complicated at the halfway mark, is resolved neatly by the end, though I do feel that I need to give the book a second reading to figure out the various strands. The sheer momentum built up by Barlow's verse works against a careful reading, so I anticipate that a second reading will bring further rewards. If you have time for only one lycanthropic love story this summer, then look no farther than "Sharp Teeth". Don't be put off by the fact that it's written in free verse, after the first few pages you won't be able to imagine it any other way. Toby Barlow can be proud of this remarkably impressive debut.
A good read, especially for the summer. The author's choice of free verse works well for two reasons. First, the style requires an economy which helps to avoid extraneous exposition and move the narrative along at a quick pace. Second, the style seems to serve as an actual narrative vehicle since the book's frenetic pace and plot complexities are a good match for the subject matter at hand. All-in-all, a good choice for a first time writer since it allows the story to be told without diverting attention to the development of his writing ability. I would not consider this a great work of art, nor would I consider it a fine example of epic verse. I would, however, rank it with some of the best and most enjoyable pulp fiction I have ever read. Additionally, the unique take on an old tale elevates the book from standard action or horror fare. What is the difference between prowling indigents and a pack of werewolves? Are your dogs simply taking refuge in your house and advantage of your good nature while they wait for the next best thing to come along? The book poses a number of other interesting questions and adds them to a unique set of layers: free verse, horror, lifestyle philosophies, revenge, cross-cultural love, and so forth. Some of the background has an "American Gods" feel to it. The pace and action remind me of "Battle Royale," but with four feet and fangs - twice as fast and twice as vicious. Highly recommended for fans of either book.

A Unique Werewolf Tale
An ancient race of lycanthropes survives in modern L.A., and its numbers are growing as the pack converts the city's downtrodden into their fold. Stuck in the middle are a local dog-catcher and the woman he loves, whose secret past haunts her as she fights a bloody one woman battle to save their relationship. If you had told me earlier this year that I would read an entire novel that was written in free verse I would have laughed in your face. If you told me I was going to enjoy it, there is a good chance I would have fallen from my chair. I should try to explain. I don't have much of a relationship with poetry; in fact, I don't read any at all. In the past I have tried, I've been sent poetry collections to review and epically failed to form any sort of attachment with the text. With this thought in mind, you can imagine my surprise when I started reading Sharp Teeth and I not only liked it, but was utterly engrossed. Toby Barlow really seems to have captured the primal nature of the pack with his writing. It also seems such a logical fit to compare the gangs of Los Angeles and their culture with the pack mentality of wolves; both groups seem to behave in such a similar manner. The different werewolf packs prey upon lonely individuals who live on the periphery of the city's society. There are two characters that made Sharp Teeth for me. Firstly there is Anthony, the dog catcher. His story is the emotional heart of the novel. He is utterly destroyed by the events that take place in his narrative and his journey was totally compelling. Anthony is just a simple man who thinks he has found the missing piece of his life only for it to be ripped away from him. I was unprepared for how affecting the highs and lows he lives through would be. The other character that stood out was Lark, the leader of the first pack the reader meets. He is an alpha male in every respect, the very antithesis of Anthony. Lark continually attempts to think three steps ahead of all his enemies. He has plans within plans and it was always interesting to follow him as he spends vast chunks of the novel trying to keep these various plates spinning. He goes undercover at one point and it was great to see how Barlow easily adapted Lark's character and how Lark functioned differently in wolf form. Lark celebrates being a werewolf; he revels in his dual life. To him being a werewolf is almost a religious experience. He is entirely at peace with his place in the universe. It was nice to see a character that bucked the trend of the traumatized, haunted loner. Sharp Teeth proved to be a bit of a bit of a revelation. The text had an almost hypnotic quality and a naturally flowing cadence that made it difficult to pull myself away. There is a wealth of vivid imagery and language that will stay with me for quite some time. This is a modern, insightful story that breathes new life into the werewolf mythos and I can't recommend it highly enough. Based on this experience, I'll certainly be less dismissive of poetry in future. Seek this novel out and read it, you can thank me later.

Utterly original, it sounds like it won't work but it does!
I read about this book in a guardian article on "summer reads" and I laughed about the premise when I first saw it. Then I read some reviews and became intrigued. I must admit, had there not been 1p copies I probably wouldn't have tried it. I've never read a novel-in-verse and I was fairly sure there was a reason for that. So glad I took a chance though! The premise whilst it initially sounds ridiculous, is actually a very touching and beautifully written book. It manages to be deadly serious about werewolves without ever being ridiculous (which I often find books that try and take fantasy creatures too seriously often are). It took a couple of pages to get used to the style but then I was away and loving it. One of those books you never want to end. I have never read anything like it and I fear I won't again. Definitely one of the best books I've read in a long
great book, the prose style of writing took a few pages to grasp but once i did it flowed beautifully. well written, wicked story and fully recommend. have ordered another Toby Barlow book on the back of reading this one.

Sublime - one to restore your faith in fiction
Just marvellous. Read it three times now. A poetic novel with tremendous grit and bite about rival werewolf gangs in LA. You fear for an author when he pulls off something as marvellous as this - that he'll never write something as good again.
This was recommended by someone in our local book club. It's not something I would have chosen myself but I'm glad I got the chance to read it. I did not have a problem with the styling as the book read easily and flowed well. The story was unusual and tied all pieces together satisfactorily at the end.

“Barlow’s imagery is magnificent . . . [A] kooky combo of grit, goofiness, and gusto . . . demonstrates that fantasy . . . may just be the place to find true exuberance and stylistic innovation.” — Los Angeles Times Book Review
An ancient race of lycanthropes has survived to the present day, and its numbers are growing as the initiated convince L.A.’s down and out to join their pack. Caught in the middle are Anthony, a kind-hearted, besotted dogcatcher, and the girl he loves, a female werewolf who has abandoned her pack.
Blending dark humor and epic themes with card-playing dogs, crystal meth labs, surfing, and carne asada tacos, Sharp Teeth captures the pace and feel of a graphic novel while remaining “as ambitious as any literary novel, because underneath all that fur, it’s about identity, community, love, death, and all the things we want our books to be about” [Nick Hornby, The Believer].

“If Ovid had been raised on a steady diet of Marvel Comics, Roger Corman and MTV, he might’ve written something like Toby Barlow’s Sharp Teeth.” — Scott Smith, author of The Ruins and A Simple Plan
“Forget any reservations you might have about werewolf stories or verse novels. This is great, engaging, wonderful stuff. Sondheim should make it his next musical.” — Michael Moorcock
“A sexy, dark and (well, yes) biting story told by a wizard of sleight of hand.” — Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and What-the-Dickens
“I’m impressed. I always knew stuff like this was going on in L.A. What a cool book!” — Christopher Moore
“I like this book - lycanthropy indeed begins at home.” — David Mamet
“Romeo and Juliet, werewolf-style.” — Wall Street Journal
