Rating: 5 stars
Summary: London at his peak
Review: I find that this book is the best one London ever wrote. It questions many aspects of our lives. In addition to this he depict his characters so well, that you feel you know them. I have read all of Londons books and no one as well-written and alive as The Sea Wolf. He is truly a magician with words. This is art!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sea Wolf
Review: I thought there was wonderful character development. London made me feel as if I actually knew the people as well as he did. He used fantastic visual imagery and if I closed my eyes I could see the action take place. He used many sailing terms I was unfamiliar with and to more thoroughly enjoy the book I would suggest any reader brush up on sailing vocabulary and parts of a sailing vessel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sea Encounters
Review: An excallent novel filled with great adventure. It has a classic story of an intimidating Captain, a rowdy crew, and a rich man turned cabin boy. They encounter many interesting situations while on their coyage the the seal hunting site. I highly recommend this novel if you have already read White Fang.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book stunk!
Review: This book was pointless and was a waste of time. Larsen places no value in life. The discussions of this book make it a deep, boring, can't keep your eyes open book. Stay away from this one. The summary calls it an adventure when the most exciting thing they did was sit in front of each other and sharpen knives.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Write about what you know...
Review: Jack London had in fact sailed on ships like the Ghost. This is one reason that the portraits of the sailors are so accurate. Also, it's why the storm episode rings so true. The book is worth reading for those reasons alone. London's own struggles with philosophy and ideas seem to be voiced by Wolf Larsen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: survival of the fittest...
Review: If you enjoyed "Call of the Wild" or "White Fang", then you'll probably like this book as well. The plot is basically the same...a weak creature is torn from it's sheltered life and forced to endure hardship. (Whatever doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.) A must read for fans of Jack London and adventure on the high seas!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was not well written and the plot did not develop well.
Review: The book was boring and did not hold my interest

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: If I could give this book 0 stars I would. It is boring and irritating. The pointlessness baffels me, I couldn't stand picking it up and trying to force myself to finish it. Whenever I would stop reading it for a while I would find myself extremely depressed. I do not recomend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is excellent
Review: This is the first recreational book I have read in years and I couldn't put it down. There is so much in this book about life and the meaning of life, if there is any, that it will definitely force you to think about what it all means to you.

This book rocks! The romance part was critical for Hump so just ignore the other comments! 8-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read this book today!
Review: The Sea Wolf is very possibly the best book I have ever read. London describes his wonderful world at sea in a way that makes one feel as though he/she is actually there, and has known the characters since childhood. I strongly recommend, to all, this book. It is a masterpiece.
