Book Reviews of The Call of the Wild (The Classic Collection)
Book Review: My thoughts on the book
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed the authors style of writing. A little different from the books I usually read. The story is not a fast action type plot. Things move very slowly. But, it is filled with very descriptive narritve about whats going on at the moment.
As an animal lover, it was a little hard to listen to how the dog was treated in the beginning of the book. The only thing that kept me listening was I knew it had to get better.
Summary of The Call of the Wild (The Classic Collection)
Jack London's stories are classic American favorites. Recorded unabridged in Bookcassette Audio are "Call of the Wild" and three special Klondike stories: "To Build a Fire", "Love of Life" and "To the Man on the Trail". In "Call of the Wild", a domestic dog is kidnapped from his comfortable life on a California estate and thrown into the wild north woods. Buck, half St. Bernard and half Scottish shepherd, is a strong dog but not accustomed to the harsh life of the north and he must fight for survival. He learns how to work hard; how to dig a hole in a snowbank to stay warm; how to eat anything no matter how loathsome; how to scent the weather; how to break ice to find water; and most importantly, how to survive cruelty.At one of the worst moments in his life, Buck receives unexpected human kindness from a new master. With the kind of devotion that only a dog can give, he shows loyalty to his master in ways that are both touching and profound.
