I'm not really on Twitter so I wasn't aware of Dan Sheehan and his Not a Wolf account. But I grabbed this as a Listen Now on NetGalley because I love a good laugh (and I also needed to complete a Bingo space for my LoveARCtually challenge, no shame!)

This completely delivered on the humor. The premise of the book is you're a wolf, masquerading as a man, going through a typical Friday at your office job. It's set up as "choose-your-adventure" style book, with scenarios such as use public transportation or get a rideshare to the office. I'd actually go back and redo the book to see what hilarious things were in the alternate options!

The audio narration is really well done, with great delivery and timing needed to nail the humor. I even loved the wolf voice!

This book gets bonus points for uniqueness and extra bonus points for being dead-on about corporate culture. This is a perfect gift for that coworker you used to tell jokes with over the cubical wall who you now IM during meetings to watch them try not to laugh during video conferences.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance to laugh over this! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A big thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this ARC.

I wasn’t familiar with the Twitter account @SickOfWolves before listening to this audiobook, so I wasn’t quite aware of what to expect (except that it would be quirky).

It WAS quirky and I found myself laughing within the first minute. And the bubbles of laughter just kept on coming near every chapter. Jay Aaseng’s narration brought a lot of added humor to Dan Sheehan’s already funny text. And the voices. The wolf’s voice is especially commical perfection..

It’s a choose your own adventure story about a wolf trying to pass as a human, and live a (mostly) human life. While also questioning what being human really is. And I, apparently, make a lot of wolfish choices based on the paths I chose to take (and because it sounded more fun).

If your looking for a fun story to make you laugh, or if you’re more interested in socially critical stories, pick this one.

This was a really unique audiobook which made for a fun, new listening experience. As the book goes along, the listener is prompted to make choice and then told what chapter to go to next, all under the story line of a wolf pretending to be a man and doing his best to hide his true wolf identity. It was funny, full of satire, and neat in how it was interactive. I’ve never interacted with an audiobook like that before and thought it was a fun idea and overall enjoyable. I recommend for those looking for a quirky listen!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for access to I Am Not a Wolf in exchange for an honest review.
