Summary: Review Of Call Of The Wild
Review: This book was a pretty good book. It was about a dog named Buck who learns to become a sled dog. Throughout the story he gets many different owners, some good, some bad. At the end of the book he heres a howl from the forest. So he follows it and he is never seen again. There are a few videos about that are also interesting. Over all it's a good book to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: BUCK
Review: I liked the book Call of the wild because of the dog Buck. Buck never gave up on anything.The book was very exciting and outgoing My favorite part of the book is when Buck fights spitz for leadership of the sled.The part i did not like was when Buck last owner died and Buck was all alone.The story would be better if the author would have told what had happen to Buck.Mostly i liked the book and I give it two thums up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Call Of The Wild review
Review: This book is about a dog named Buck that is pulled away
from his nice laid back life, and thrown into work to become a sled dog. While Buck is becomeing a sled dog he is sold to many different people with many different attitudes towards Buck. Some of these people are nice to him, and some are not. Buck also finds that it is very hard to become a sled dog, and to get along with the other dogs. Although its is very hard to become a sled dog, Buck does it, and becomes one of the best. I think this book was a very good one, and I also think you should read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Uses vivid descriptions
Review: An excellent book that will nearly paint the scenery in your mind. Most of the book is set in the arctic north and is centered during the time of the Klondike Gold Rush. After reading this I wanted to get up and head north. The book is about the life of a dog named Buck, which is a half-St.Bernard and half-shepherd dog. The book unveils Buck's reversion from a typical family pet dog to a hard working sled dog. His breeding allows for growth and strength as he will become of the greatest dogs during his time. It makes you think about simple life, about the outdoors and nature, and most of all, about the "call of the wild."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good...but a classic??
Review: MY OPINION: This was a great novel by a classic author, but many people say it is a classic! I don't belive this to be true, I have read many other books much better than this one that were not even 'classics' If you really want a 'classic' try Steinbeck. Even though this was not a 'classic' in my opinion, it still deserves five stars, it kept me at the edge of my seat and it had a great ending.

WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT??!?! Call of the wild stats in a judge's estate with his dog, Buck. Meanwhile there is a giant goldrush going on in Alaska, and everyone wants a dog..just like buck. Buck is stolen and is sent to Alaska where he, and his new masters have jobs to do. Buck has to learn new things, how to ride a dog sled, how to obey humans, and how to fight with other dogs...I cannot tell you anymore about this novel becase I did, I would give it away.

In conclusion this is a very good read and i would reccomend it to anyone who wants to read a great novel, but don't read it expecting to find a book that will change your life, it won't, but it is truley a great story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good but swiftly changing book
Review: This was the first Jack london book I read. I loved reading all my life and when my flow of favorites came to a standstill , I just took out this book from the library and started to halfheartedly read it a loved the avid descriptions of the settings and the way London narrarrated it. the changes in plot were not always pleasent such as the battle or the death of some of his masters, but overall this book was the best i ever read, other than white fang, which is a bit happier and the ending is reversed. please excuse any errors found in this reveiw.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Just For Kids
Review: I loved this book. I first read it when I was 13 and did not appreciate it at all. I'm now 35 and absorbed the story from an entirely different perspective. I LOVE dogs and have always been curious about pack animal behavior which "Call of the Wild" depicts in its truest form. My heart went out to Buck after he was dog-napped and thrown in a cage to be transported to his new "owners." I kept picturing my dog going through the same ordeal, and I wondered if she would have responded like Buck did.

Having spent two years working for the Humane Society, I will say that this book is not for the faint of heart when it comes to reading detailed animal brutality. The description of Buck's being beaten into submission (literally) are heart wrenching.

This is a great story...rich in detail and emotion. I'm now reading "White Fang," the companion book to "Call of the Wild" which London wrote three years later. "White Fang" is about a wild animal being tamed unlike this book which is about a tame animal becomming wild.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: At least it was short
Review: This is a very boring book. Dogs get beat every page. Jack London thinks he knows everything about wolves. NOT!! HORRIBLE!

Rating: 5 stars
