Summary: Call of the Wild
Review: "Call of the Wild" is a novel written by Jack London, the "most widely" read author in the world at the turn of the twentieth century. London lived a "wild life", traveled the continent of North America, and committed suicide at the age of forty. London's story about Buck, a family pet stolen and sold to be a sled dog, is a realistic tale of the Alaska Gold Rush. Buck's new life is a hard one as he learns to adapt to the cruelty of people, animals, and the weather. Buck learns from his experiences that some people and animals are good and kind, and others are cruel and deadly.London, also, learns from his experiences in the Northwest, and the experiences make his novel seem to be true of that time and that place. London's life was not an easy one, and the life he created for Buck was not an easy one. When I read "Call of the Wild", I was impressed by the way Buck survives the cruel treatment and the harsh land of Alaska. The realism in the story suggest the way life really is. Some people, like Hal, are cruel and show no mercy. Other people, like John Thornton, are kind as he saves Buck's life. I wish that Jack London could have had a friend like John Thornton in his life.

Summary: Good, yet not delightful.
Review: I read this book for my GT english class. It was very well written-the dog's point of view certainily came across well. I would recommend it...if you have some extra time on your hands. If you are big about animal rights, you will cry. I certainily recommend it to dog owners. The story is about a dog named Buck who is taken from his aristocratic life into the world of the pimitive. He is taken to Alaska to be a sled dog, and meets fellow dogs along the way. No way am I going to give away the best parts! You'll have to read it for yourself!

Summary: It's a real pageturner
Review: Once you've started reading this book, you can't put it down. Its suspence is unpredictable. The action is just right, not to horrific, but yet, unrefined. It's a great book for young adults and older adults. Everybody can read it. Go out and get it, I'm sure you'll like it.

Summary: Not pleasing
Review: I did not like this book. It was very confusing and boring. I'm used to reading about action and adventure not dogs in the snow. Some may find it cute or compelling but for me it was just plain childish and corny.

Summary: Go, Buck, Go
Review: This is the greatest book i ever read! Jack London did an amazing job creating this book. It was very well written and a book you can't stop reading! Anyway, it's about a dog named buck who is stolen and sold to people who are going to sell it to the people going off to Dawson and the Yukon to get gold. So as the book goes on Buck learns the law of club and fang. And he starts to get the visions about a world that is free and every day is a test of survival, the survival of the fittest. This book is so sad at the end that i almost cried. Snuff, you'll know why if you read it. Buy this book and make it part of your collection. It's worth it. Trust me. It's worth a lot.

There he meets many many dogs such as Curly, Spitz, Dave, Sol-leks, Joe, Billie, and Pike. Buck learns the law of fang and the law of club. In one part, Spitz tries to attack Buck, but Buck breaks both of Spitz's legs and lets the rest of the team kill him. This book is action packed with many highspots. Buy this book, it's worth the money.

Summary: My Book Review
Review: The Call of the Wild by Jack London gave me a nonchalant feeling. It is one of those so-so books that you read just to read it. The Call of the Wild is a boring book to read. Because of the tedious actions done by the characters, you really would not get a feel of the story. The story did not keep me interested. This book did not leave an indelible mark on me whatsoever. When the protagonist is walking through the mounds of snow, the author could have described the scene more so the reader could almost feel the same way as the characters were. Although I did not like this story I would recommend this book to kids between 7-11 years of age to let them know how other sorts of books are.
