Book Reviews of The Call of the Wild
Book Review: Meat on them bones
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I must have read Call of the Wild earlier in life when I liked "books about dogs." I read it again recently in a group discussing "children's books." To me a truly great "children's book" is one that speaks to any other age, too. This one sure speaks to at age 60+. The worst thing about the edition I read was that it said on the cover, "Can Buck resist the lure of the wolves?" Duh. He's a wolf. Why would-should he resist? And the genius of this book is that Jack London leaves you with the tingling feeling that you're a large part wolf yourself. Take Me With You When You GoBook Review: great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am generally not a huge fan of fiction, but I recently watched the movie "Into the Wild" and saw that the character featured in the movie read this book and was influenced by it to live a life in the Wild. I figured I may as well read it, so I did, and I really enjoyed it. I am not at all a literature buff, so I am not certain of what things were symbolic and what everything meant, but it was a great read and I couldn't put it down.Book Review: Beautifully Written Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I avoided reading this book for years because it seemed too disturbing and painful to read about the horrible abuse of a dog. I was able to read it and love it when I finally read it. Jack London is a beautiful moving writer who writes about very disturbing things he saw during the Alaskan Gold Rush. This book is a classic and just as wonderful as White Fang which I read several years ago.Book Review: bucks nasty fights
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this book because of its detales in fights like when buck fought the man in the high walled back yard. in this fight jack london describes bucks anger and the pain with words like red-eyed devil,a fierce blow and blood flowing from his nose and mouth.Book Review: The ultimate story of...
Summary: 5 Stars
London's "Call of the Wild" is the ultimate story of survival and vengeance. Full of quiet introspection and action. A must read for any reader.
