Damn, thanks to all the hype over this book here at BookCrossing, I absolutely can't *wait* to read it! Thank you BookCrossing, Rich Shapero, and TooFar Publishing, for sharing this with me. Whether I ultimately like it or not, a free book is a free book, and the generosity is appreciated!
After langushing in the BookRelays for a bit, this book is off to sailorarby.
Received in the mail today. It will go on my TBR list and I am definitely curious to read it.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
"How far would you go to find yourself? In Rich Shapero's debut novel, a young man rejects a normal life to follow a wild, inner calling." "Sam Altman, disillusioned with the world of the 60s, has fallen deeply in love with the mysterious Lindy, a young woman who inspires him to seek the foundations of his heart. She understands his quest, and will do anything to help him realize it - no matter how dangerous." "Sam's unleashed and increasingly unhinged imagination drives them north to the remote Alaskan wilderness. On the unforgiving ridges of Mt. Wrangell, alone with his wayward ideas, Sam, who has renamed himself Ransom, gradually transforms himself into a ram - prey to a pack of strangely familiar wolves." "The mad pursuit leads from the wilds to civilization and back again. And when Ransom and Lindy return to brave the perilous mountain together, the truth behind his imagined transformation emerges. What they discover in those frozen heights threatens their love as well as their sanity and their lives." Wild Animus is a search for the primordial and a journey to the breaking point. It is a story of love and sacrifice, of obsession, of finding the limits of the heart and going one step farther.

I finally finished the book. The writing was good but I didnt like the story. I think I am too "down-to-earth" for the "new age" message of the book.
