Customer Reviews of The Sight

A great read!
This is a REALLY cool book! Especially since it's written with a wolf's perspective, and man is mostly a bad guy, instead of the reverse that you often see.
Okay this is mainly the plot:
There's been this prophacy for as long as anyone can remember that reads:
"As a she-cub is whelped with a coat that is white,
And a human child is stolen to suckle the Sight..." and goes on for three stanzas 'till
"A courage is needed as deep as despair."
Anyways, a white and a black cub (Larka and Fell) are born in their Mother's home den and raised there for a while. Then their mother's sister, Morgra, curshes the pack, that they will be torn apart, one by one.
Shortly after that Larka realizes that she has "The Sight". The ability to look through the eyes of the birds and do many other things.
This book is mainly about the struggles that these wolves face, and can be confusing at times, but I believe it was a well worth the 457 pages!

He's is the best writer in the world! (Apart from JKRowling)
I read it when I was eleven, and I'm reading it again, its just soo GREAT! The suspense in this book is fabulous, its a REAL page-turner!! I read David Clement-Davies' first novel, Fire Bringer, it was just as good as this one!!! I am a real wolf-lover and really like The Sight, hes just a really awesome writer!
About The Sight: Its about a pack of wolves fleeing from the evil wolf Seer, Morgra, which just so happens to be Palla's, mother of the main characters, Larka and Fell, half-sister. When she gets rejected twice from the pack, Morgra curses the pack and soon this evil curse gets to the packs' head until finnally, Palla and her mate, Huttser, get into a fight and Larka leaves the pack when.... oh I'll just leave it at that for you to figure out how that happened.
Happy reading!

So much potential, so little delivered
I picked up a copy of "The Sight" because I loved "Watership Down" and "Redwall" and am always willing to give animal fantasy a try. At first glance the storyline looked compelling, the writing decent. Unfortunately, this book did not deliver.
Beyond the four or five main characters, the wolves are indistinguishable from one another, and lead us down a number of irrelevant and misleading side stories. The writing is sloppy, the history muddled, and the description rushed.
What I disliked most, however, was the author's messy attempt to make the Sight explain life. Through the Sight Larka becomes aware that the wolves' lack memory, and somehow remembering evolution is the answer to all of the riddles - though I was confused as to how that solved anything, and it certainly didn't explain where the Sight (or Wolfbane and his cronies, for that matter) came from.
Clement-Davies hit on some very interesting chords - family, religion, home, betrayal - and had a few solid characters, but he did not quite reason his way to a solid story. Too bad.
