Summary: You'll like this book if you like animals and adventures.
Review: I read Call of the Wild by Jack London. It was about a domesticated dog named Buck. He was brought into the wild to learn to survive on his own. He meets many good and bad people like the three disorganized people. He also meets many other dogs. Buck fights several and is punished for disobedience. Call of the Wild is an historical fiction book. It has adventure and animals, but it is sometimes sad and can be a bit boring. I would rate it four stars. I really liked the ending. I liked the beginning before Buck gets taken away. The book takes place in Alaska, and in San Francisco, California. Call of the Wild takes place during the Alaskan Gold Rush. The part I thought was the most interesting was when the pack of wild, hungry wolves came to his camp. They injured all the dogs, and killed some that were in the camp. The wolves ate anything they could get that was edible in Buck's camp. When all the survivors were back at camp some of the dogs went crazy and chased other dogs. I recommend this book.

Summary: A historical classic
Review: Nicholas D'Agostino Summery Group 62The book I'm reviewing The Call of the Wild by Jack London. This book takes place in Alaska around the time of the Alaskan Gold Rush. The main character in the story is a German Shepherd named Buck. The entire story is told from the dogs perspective, meaning it is more concrete getting information and it shows the surface of an experience. This lets you draw your own conclusions, Rather than being swayed by the characters view. This book is also historically accurate because it shows that the Alaskan wilderness was a dark, dangerous tundra. If I where to rate this book, I would give it **** (four stars) out of 5, because the book is intelligently written trough the eyes and mind of an unintelligent creature.

Summary: "DOMINANT PRIMORDIAL BEAST"
Review: This novelette is a chiling, gripping masterpiece of Survival lore, set in the brutal harshness of the Yukon during the Alaskan gold rush of 1897. The plot is the gradual metamorphosis of Buck--a splendid rancho dog of the warm, soft Southlands (part St.Bernanrd/part German Shepherd). From pampered pet on his master's country estate, he is kidnpaped and sold into the bondage of dogteam slavery for sheer Greed, where he endures the horrors of weather plus those of cruel and stupid men. Yet Buck ultimately carves out his own domain in the bitter wilderness, leaving a legacy of prodigious strength, cunning and ferocity. When his last master dies, he answers the growing Call to revert to his ancestors' wild state, as the alpha male of a wolf pack. Despite little dialogue, this book reads swiftly and holds your interest. Fiction made absolutely Real by the pen of a master!

Summary: The Call of the Wild was a good, descriptive book.
Review: In my opinion The Call of the Wild by Jack London was a good book. Jack was very descriptive; he made the novel come alive and he kept me reading. Though, there were certain sections I didn't care for, such as the beatings of the dogs and John Thornton's death. Also the characters Mercedes, Hal, and Charles were very annoying, and it seemed unrealistic when they made it so far acting the way they did. The quote "I spik true w'en I say dat Buck two devils," (page 25) shows that Buck was a strong fierce fighter and what the language they spoke back then was like. I found the colloquial languages easy to comprehend. I suggest this novel to all younge adults eager to learn what life was like in 1897. Again I enjoyed The Call of the Wild and would like to read more books like it.
