I read "The Loop" after the well-minded suggestion of a friend. It seemed to me that everybody in The Loop scenery is divorced or absolutely worried about their own egos. From the spiritual point of view, I found it depressing: no normal people and no valuable spiritual growing up to the end."The selfish gene theory" in the first chapters and the insistent description of Mr. Buck Calder as a sexual glutton were EVERYTHING I needed to have a nice reading ;-(Unfortunately we can not put a "zero" star in the score. If you really like people and wolves, I believe you'll not like this book.
