Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: It's a well written book, with some cool quirks. I would never have thought of the word Tuesday as friendly because of how the "u" and the "e" look next to each other. I enjoyed the characters, and the problems had firm resolutions.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I love wolves, so this is right up my alley. I liked how she had each of the wolves have personalities even before we met their human counterparts.
Did the cover reflect the contents of the book: I really liked the cover of Shiver. The craggy tree branches were interesting, and it looked layered, almost like a wannabe tunnel. The dot of blood was cool, but I didn't really see it's relation to the book.
