While this was a relatively short book, it was a difficult read. The glossary at the front is the first clue. Gaelic pronunciation is nothing close to the spelling and I had to keep returning back to check how to say names and words.
The character of Atticus was an interesting one though. He is a fun read, and being inside his head for the whole book made for a different sort of narrative. The story did not have any major ups and downs in the action and the main bad guy was defeated with an anti-climactic quickness. The funniest character in the book was Atticus' dog Oberon. Every appearance brought a chuckle. Overall this book was an okay lite read, but not fantastic enough for me to want to read the rest of the series.
This book is not very well suited for discussion in a group.

Hounded is not the typical book club read. I\\\'d recommend it to push people outside their normal \\\"comfort\\\" zone into a unique, current day novel that brings in a little bit of everything.
