WINNER of the Kindle Book Review's 2012 "Best Indie Books" contest for Literary Fiction.

"The summer I turned sixteen I shot a man."  With that simple declaration, Nelson Gody begins his story of the summer of 1969 and the events that would change his life forever.

Nelson lives with his widower father and his five-year-old sister on their small farm outside Bells Ferry, Mississippi.  It's an idyllic world grounded in family and friendship, a world full of farm chores and lazy afternoons swimming in the Wolf River with Frankie, his best friend.

Things begin to change when Nelson finds himself falling in love with Mary Alice, the orphan from a children's home who is spending the summer with his aunt.  While dealing with the emotional rollercoaster of first love, Nelson learns the secret his best friend has been harboring (he's gay) and nearly trashes his life-long friendship with Frankie.  Just when it seems the two boys have worked it all out, saving their friendship, a mysterious stranger comes to town on an exotic motorcycle and interjects himself into their world, giving Frankie the chance to explore his burgeoning sexuality--with horrific consequences.  Capped by the devastation of Hurricane Camille, no one escapes unscathed from those six weeks in the summer of '69.

Told with narrative drive that pulls you completely into the story, A Death on the Wolf is an uncompromising coming of age tale full of hard-hitting issues which are tackled head-on with courage; not only by the author, but by the characters he's created.  "Real, gritty, heartwarming, with characters and a setting you can see, feel, and taste" (The Kindle Book Review), Nelson's unvarnished fictional memoir will introduce you to a time and place that is no more--and yet shows how courage, love, and friendship are timeless concepts in the face of life's trials and tribulations.

5,0 su 5 stelle A most worthy read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 luglio 2013

Not knowing what this book was about and having not heard of this autor prior to this, I can only say what a pleasent suprise this turned out to be. From the very first page you as the reader are placed squarely into the story, it's aqs if you are right there. The descrptive nature of the author is well written and well recieved, making the visualization in your mind one of extreme detail. The main character is beliveable and his story rings true; the emotional turmoil of a youg man turning 16 is well thought out and touching without being mushing or campy. The supporting characters are all very well thought out and the issues are real, you actually feel for these individuals. This is a group of individuals that you would truly like to meet. The inclusion of factual material, i.e. hurricane Camille was well thought out and adds the touch of realisim to the story. I cannot say how much I enjoyed this story and look forward to others by Mr. Frazier.

I really enjoyed this book, I loved the main characters and the pace of the book.I read more thrillers than anything else and this was as exciting but more character driven than my usual books.I loved the feel of a time gone by, a time when I was growing up it was great, kept me entertained and also not sure how it was all going to work out I always enjoy a book that keeps me guessing,I thought this was a really great read, and it had a good ending as well.

I read A Death on the Wolf to fulfill the prompt of “A book set in the decade you were born” for the 2018 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge.

This book started off strong: “The summer I turned sixteen I shot a man.” I felt that, for the most part, it stayed strong throughout.

This is a coming-of-age tale that stars Nelson Gody, a boy in rural Mississippi who turns 16 in the summer of 1969. The summer of 1969 has other events in store, including NASA’s moon walk and Hurricane Camille, which figure into the story.

While the era in which the book takes place is much slower paced than our current one, it is still turbulent in its own way.

As Nelson begins bridging the gap between boy and man, he’s faced with childhood friendships that may be outgrowing, and with falling in love for the first time.

I am so not a fan of insta-love, and it was slightly nauseating here. I struggled with how to word what bugged me about it, but then read in another book a phrase similar to “I’ve never met an adolescent male who was burgeoning with honorable hormones.” That pretty much sums it up. Yes, simpler times and different moral standards, but Nelson comes off a tad too chivalrous to be completely believable.

The struggle to maintain or forego his oldest friendship is a much more compelling part of the story. There were moments of growth there that felt much more real than any aspect of the love story. Had the novel focused more on this than the first love portion, it would have been a lot stronger tale, and closer to a 5-star read.

Another irritant was the confusion between “decent” and “descent.” Once might be a typo, but twice is either laziness or ignorance, and I don’t really care for either in my fiction (or the real world, for that matter), thank you very much.

Overall, it was still a good story, and if you don’t mind insta-love and sloppy editing, you might find it a much better book than I did.

4 out of 5 stars.

Not my usual sort of read. I generally steer away from coming of age novels....and certainly those set in the southern US bible states. But once I started to read it I enjoyed the fluid writing style and dialogue which carried the story forward.
I was 18 in 1969 when this tale was set....only 3 years older than the main character and in a different country.....but I can relate to the moon landing coverage, I remember the hurricane, and remember how times have changed since then....
.....it's a tale of friendship and discovery, first love, the presence of evil, and the essential goodness of some human beings....all based in a setting which seems a bygone age even though it's not that long ago.
If you want something different give it a try.....I enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from beginning to end. The characters were interesting and well developed. The historical events of the time were woven into and indeed became quite relevant to the story. I did find it interesting that since 1969 was "the summer of love" that this small rural community was not influenced by the events taking place in many parts of the USA and Europe. However the era was alluded to by the introduction of Bong as a hippie . He did become a very negative character I was hoping to find out a little more about him and why he was in this quaint back woods rural comminity all the way from Australia. This was a little disjointed. Also Frankie's experimentation with his sexual differencies reflects the period well but still not well received in rural southern settings. Luckly Frankie had love acceptance and support from the Godys that enabled him to live the full life he was meant to live and enjoy.
This novel was heart warming. All the positivity comming from this lovely supportive and very sane and tolerant family. Do we all wish an environment like this in which to thrive and grow into well developed adults that are happy in life.
Best wishes to Mr.Frazier for this entertaining read. I hope to read more of GM Frazier in the future.
