Summary: Maybe His Worst
Review: I'm a big Jack London Fan, he has written some wonderful stories. This is just not one of them, as this was one of his first I can see where he got so much better. His master-piece is White Fang, read White Fang and leave this one for 12 year olds.

Summary: Call of the Wild-How I see it
Review: CALL OF THE WILD was very interesting the way Jack London's point of view was expressed. Instead of telling it from his point of view, he took it from Buck's eyes, which was a dog and the main charachter. The adventures of Buck go from a luxurious life of a house to riding on a train to the Arctic. Buck got kidnapped by his master's servant and was traded to be a sled dog. When he went to get broken (trained), he learned how he was going to be treated in his new life. Out on the trail, he learned very quickly the ways of the sled dogs. For instance, he wasn't allowed to sleep in the tent. Instead, he had to bury himself in the snow to keep warm. He also learned that these trips were for something very specific - and that thing was gold. He began a vicious rivalry with the lead sled dog. He got sold from musher to musher. One day he was out hunting rabbits with some wild wolves and the rest of his team. Buck got fed up with the lead dog of the team and decided to take him out once and for all. After a while, the team was on its last leg, and Buck decided to run away and fulfill his Call of the Wild. Will Buck ever go back to civilization? To find out about Buck's adventures in the wild, you'll have to read the book.** There is a sequel called White Fang.

Summary: This story has slow beginning but a beond spectacular end..
Review: The start of this book The Call of the Wild was slow and did not coptivate me. But, like most great books this one got much better as the story went on! Buck a huge house dog belonging to a rich man (naned Judge Miller), is sold secretly by his gardeners assistant. Buck is then transported to northern California. The dog finally gets baught from the saloon by Perrault and Francois. Perrault and Francois are gold crazed men and whose goal is to get to Skagway. The two arrive at Skagway and sell their dog team to the mail service with wich they travel south to Dawson. Buck and his sled mates are sold again to a groug of novice sled drivers. This part of the story takes place during the summer months. The novices meet John Thorton (a more experienced sleadsman) at the bank of a wide river. John suggested not to cross but they did not listen to his advice. Bucks fellow dogs and his former sledsmen all drown. Buck was saved by Thorton because he cut him from his traces (harnesses that hold the dog teams together and allow them to pull the sled), becaues he would not get up and was getting beaten. Two years later John Thorton bucks belovid and favorite master was killer by the northern indians the Yeehats. Buck moarned over the loss of John but he moved on after a full week of waiting for no one amd morning of Thorton. Two weeksafter John Thiorton's death a gargantuan pack of wolves come upon Buck. Buck quareled witha few of them and eather killed,paralised,or disabled every attacker, but Buck finaly saw his wild brother and stoped hurting members of the pack. He was able to join the wolf pack and he did. Yeehat lagends say that thay ance saw a huge dog different from all the other dogs running at the head of the pack. I wonder who that is? Like I said before i think this was a good book to read and it gets better and better as the story goes on. I rekemend The Call of the Wild to you and any one else who likes wilderness/action books.

Summary: Review of a great book...
Review: Call of the Wild was a good book overall, from its sad times to the happy times it was one of the best pieces of American literature ever written. The plot starts out in California where a dog named Buck lives with his family, but soon after he is stolen and shipped to the Yukon Trail where he becomes a sled dog. But while he is a sled do he goes through many mushers, some nice and some that are very cruel to him. Buck soon becomes one of the best sled dogs on the trail and everyone wants a dog like him. But in the end it turns out he returns to his true home, and it ends the book very well.

Summary: A Good Call.
Review: Jack London's The Call of the Wild has staying power in the brutal world of literature. Only the very best books ascend to the top of the heap. Only a select few of those stay there for a hundred years. The Call of the Wild is one of these books. The book is a relatively simple, straight-forward tale about Buck, a large mixed-breed dog stolen from his comfortable existence in California and sold as a sled-dog for the Yukon gold rush. Buck faces the trials and tribulations of the far North's harsh environment and harsher masters. This is a story of transformation. He must forget his trusting, dependent ways and fend for himself, fighting for his very survival. He digs deep, variously finding and losing both hate and true love, and ultimately discovering the elemental animal within. The book's shortcomings are few. London employs a risky anthropomorphic narrative style--though he does it well. We see the action from Buck's perspective. But dogs don't talk, so there is very little dialogue. This results in more "telling" than "showing." The descriptions are sometimes a bit long, typical of turn-of-the-century writing style. And I was left wishing for more of the wonderful colloquial French-Canadian dialect we saw in the small smattering of dialogue. The book is a fantastic transition choice for kids graduating from fluffy chapter books to more adult-like fare. The stark, life-and-death issues it confronts grab their interest and make life-long readers of them. In poetic irony, London's book is like the character within it: a survivor. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.
