Editorial Review For Wild Life
In Wild Life, Eric Leafton introduces readers to an alien planet where tigers talk, dinosaurs roam, and humans are the villains. At the heart of the story is Gem, a human child adopted by a tiger named Lumis. He grows up among wild creatures and constantly tries to befriend animals who would rather eat him than chat. Typical childhood, really.
Leafton's writing shines when he shows relationships forming between unlikely friends. Gem’s interactions with his adoptive family are believable and warm without becoming overly sentimental. The story cleverly mixes themes of acceptance, revenge, and the classic struggle between nature and technology. For a book with talking animals and laser guns, it manages to say something thoughtful about how creatures relate to each other.
The novel sits comfortably in the young adult adventure genre, echoing trends seen in fantasy survival stories. Think Tarzan but with dinosaurs, spaceships, and fewer vine swings. Younger readers who enjoy action-packed adventures with a dash of heart will find plenty here.
While Wild Life won't make you rethink life's big questions, it will hold your attention. It’s ideal for those who like their coming-of-age stories to involve triceratops fights and revenge-seeking tigers. Go ahead and read it—just don’t be surprised if you find yourself rooting for the talking animals over the people.
