Summary: A Classic Book
Review: I read this as a youngster. In fact I read it a couple of times. But I never really got it until I read it again as an adult. Now I see clearly what London set out to do.
I have always enjoyed Jack London's look into the savage mindset of animals. His understanding of the line between captivity and freedom is unparalelled.
In this classic story we meet Jack, a pampered house pet, who is one day swiftly and savagely swept from his home to the Yukon. Jack is treated brutally and eventually his spirit is broken. He in turn becomes a brute of a work dog, pulling sleds across the frozen arctic.
Some of my favorite scenes are those in which Buck learns the law of the club and fang. Buck finds himself plunged into a world of brutality in which the only law is the law of the club and fang. He is taught this law by a man in a red sweater who challenges Buck to a contest of wills. Which is deftly won by the one holding the club. I love the look into Buck's thought process. I also enjy how London nails Buck's slip from strong independence to complete servanthood.
Buck settles into a life of hard servitude, until he finds the love of a man once again. It is amazing how London pulls Buck away from man to the brink of being a wild animal, only to bring him back into a loving relationship once again with John Thornton. It is interesting to see Buck's thought process as he learns to trust and love human's again.
In the end Buck is swept once again to the wild. London expertly takes Buck from transformation to tranformation... from crossroad to crossroad.
By the end of the story we are Buck and know fully what it's like to be Called by the Wild.
I highly recommend this classic book!

Summary: Spectacular
Review: This book is an excellent choice for anybody that likes action adventure. Jack London wrote this right after the Klonkdike Gold Rush. This book is beautifully written. When is the last time a book has been adequate to make you hypnotic because of the beautiful writing? This one will. It takes place in northern Alaska. Instead of a human telling the story a dog tells the story. This book is spectacular!

Summary: Call of the Wild Review
Review: Call of The Wild Review The Call of the Wild, by: Jack London is an excellent short read. This classic is about a dog named Buck, and his life. Buck goes from being a pampered pet to a sled dog pulling mail for the Canadian government. This book is seven chapters long, and a great book for those of us who like books written from the point of view of animals. However, I wouldn't recommend this for readers who like to challenge themselves, the vocabulary and content of the book is pretty elementary. Make no mistake I think Jack London is a magnificent author, but The Call of the Wild is to short for my taste, and probably most adults.

Summary: Not the best, but it was enjoyable.
Review: I was assinged this book as a novel to read for school. At first I didn't want to read it, all my friends said it was stupid. I should have known not to listen to my friends. This book was very good. I am not going to say awsome because at some points there was so much detail it was rediculus. The plot had a lot of twists. I read ahead in the book instead of reading at the pace of the class because I was very into it and the class was reading WAY to slow. Nothing agenst them, sorry getting off track. This book was told from a pont a view you don't see a lot of, it is told from the dogs point of veiw. along the whole book we get to see Buck ( the main character) grow and change. watching how Buck changed is what i liked about the book. I would recomend this book to all who need something to read

Summary: Interesting...
Review: I read Call of the Wild because it made MLA's list of the 100 best novels of the last century, and because it was short and quick and easy to carry around. I can see how writing a novel from a Wolf's perspective would be compelling, and unique enough perhaps to land it on the list. And it's a good story, quick to read and engaging--excellent Waiting for a Bus reading material. I don't know if it's great literature--but the glimpses into life during the Yukon goldrush make it worthwhile, and it's so fast that there's no reason not to pick it up. It's not exactly a deep book, though-- if you're looking for hidden meaning, there really isn't all the much there. But, as I said, it's a good story from a unique point of view, and worth reading.

Summary: Call of the Wild is the best.
Review: At First, I thought it was kinda boring but then later on in the book I coudn't stop reading. I think Call of the wild and white fang are both great. I loved this book so much.
