Summary: The book was verry dull and unenteristing.
Review: In my opinoin THE CALL OF THE WILD was a non interisting book. The only thing that i thought about the book that was good, was that it was discriptive in the fights against each other. One of the biggest things that i disagree with is the vocabulary, it was very hard for me to read all those big words, and phrases for example. With the Aurora Borals flaming overhead, or the stars Leaping in the first dance,and the land Numb and over its pail of snow. I read that phrase about fivr times and i still do not know what it means. I would only reccomand this book for people who like to read and have a good vocabulary.

Summary: This is a pretty good book
Review: In my opinion The Call of the Wild by Jack London is a pretty good adventure into Buck's life. Jack made it interesting by putting good descriptions in the story so you can picture it. For example; " The great head drooped more and more under its tree of horns,and the shambling trot grew weaker and weaker"pg 58. This quote lets you picture just how the moose died.There was also somethings I disliked about this book, for example I didn't like that there wasn't a lot of dialogue which I believe would have made it a little better. I liked the relationship between John Thornton and Buck. I think that this book should be read by high school students to learn how to use descriptive writing.

Summary: I think that this is a good adventure book for all ages
Review: In my opinion The Call of the Wild by Jack London is a good book. Jack London was very descriptivein this book. He used very good situations that made me want to read more and more. The one thing I didn't like about this book was that I don't think he used enough dialouge. The part that really stuck in my head was when Buck and Spitz fought to the death. The one thing that Buck had was imagination and that is what won it all. One of the qoutes that really sticks in my head is "you've learned your place and I know mine." (pg 6) The man in the red sweater said this to Buck after the beating. overall this was a really good book and I would tell anyone to read this. Toni Nunn

Summary: It needed more pictures.
Review: I thought the book was interesting yet boring in a way. I liked the part when John Thornton whispered in Bucks ear and said "Do it as if you love me". There was also alot of cheasy parts in the book. I also thought the book went too into detail in spots it didn't need it. It really didn't get my attention enough. In some parts it made me want to keep reading, but it didn;t enough.

Summary: Call of the Wild? Why yes, I liked it....
Review: This book, The Call of the Wild by Jack London, in my opinion, was very well written. I had fluctuating opinions of this book. I had many likes, and dislikes. Some of the things I liked frome the story are things such as discriptions of characters, the viewpoint the story is told in (the dogs perspective) and how it relays the problems of life to us all. However, there are also some negative points from the story that I wasn't so fond of. For instance, the beginning started off slow, and boring. A very good, and my personal favorite quote from this story is as follows: "...When the long winter nights come on and teh wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys , he may be seen running at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight or glimmering boralis, leeping gigantic above his fellows, his great throat-a-bellow as he sings a song of the yougner world, which is the song of the pack." (Page 62)

Summary: I thought this book was very good.
Review: The Call of the Wild written by Jack London was a splendid book. The book keeps you wanting to read on by having details about the places and animals. I didn't like the way all the dogs sufferes in the story. Even though Buck suffered at the point of almost death, he found John Thornton who saved his life. All the details about the characters made them almost real. London did a good job on making you feel like you were there. The quote "God! you can all but speak!"(Thornton pg.43) says all that you can say about Buck. I did not care for the part where Jack London wrote about how John Thornton dies. I advise that any person who enjoys reading about animals and the way life used to be during the northern gold rush, should read this novel.

Summary: Jack London's "The Call of the Wild" is an excellent book.
Review: Jack London's "The Call of the Wild" is a detailed book for anyone who likes dogs and the outdoors. The book is very descriptive, giving the dogs human characteristics. One of the detailed scenes was when Buck and Spitz fought to the tragic end. London described Curly's death by saying, "No fair play. Once down that was the end of you." (London, pg.9) This shows how uncivilized the environment was. The dogs had to fend for themselves or risk being defeated. I liked the action of the book, but the setting jumped around a lot and it was hard to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone who has intrests in the experiences man and dog went through during the Gold Rush era.

Summary: This book is a thrilling ride through a daring life.
Review: Call of the Wild is writen greatly, but also this is the type of story that you can tell a person over and over and they will always want to hear it again. Jack Lonodon picks to present the difficulties of travling the Yukton trail through a dogs point of veiw. Though out the book this dog is faced with so many diffrent and exciting experances. That you will not be able to put the book down. The one thing I loved most about this book was the way you are able to feel what the charters are feeling. That all is the effect of great writing.

Summary: Good descriptive qualities, good story, dogs understood alot
Review: If I were asked whether I would or would not recommend "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London, I would definitely say the I would recommend it. I thought it was very well written, especially the battles between the dogs. The reader can almost see the dog's cuts and feel their pain. Upon reading this sentence, "There was no warning, only a leap in like a flash, a metallic clip of teeth, a leap out equally swift, and Curly's face ripped open from eye to jaw."(London p.9), I cringed, I could almost see the shredded skin covered in warm blood, and the white bone shining through. That was just one example of the excellent description used to enhance this tale of Buck's struggle for survival. I wouldn't say this book is perfect though. For example, I didn't think it would be possible for the dogs to understand the English language as well as the book portrays. Other than that I believe this novel to be excellently written, and I would recommend it to anyone who asked.
