On of the reviews I read stated that the "werewolves" were simple shape-shifters who turn into wolves (not a man-wolf hybrid) but still have all their human faculties.
Talk about cutting the balls off the concept. The most compelling thing about a werewolf tale is the concept of a complete loss of controll, becoming a wild beast. The whole puberty metaphor is rendered neuter if the beasts are rational.
Lame.
