I agree with you. I think animals and humans always speak to each other. If you think about a pet dog or cat, they definitely let you know what they want, what is hurtful, and a lot of their emotions through their body language and eyes. This may not be to the extent the story describes, but it still exists.

I agree. Obviously authors - especially those who write science fiction- have license to use their imagination but anyone who has a pet can attest that they have ways of communicating with humans that go beyond the use of speech.

To what extend is the connection between human and animals fiction. On a scale of 1-10 I'll say 5

I’m with you on this. Verbal communication between humans and animals sounds rather far fetched. That's crossing into the realm of fantasy.

I agree 100%. The rest of the book managed to stay somewhat grounded in reality, and the conversations with the wolves totally took me out of the story.
