Summary: Call of the Wild
Review: Buck, a half St. Bernard, half german sheperd dog, was stolen from his Californian home and taken to the Klondike. At his Californian home, Buck sees himself as the King. He could do whatever he wants. The Klondike is a whole new world for him. He has to get accustomed to the harsh weather, the other dogs, and the rules. Buck learns it all very fast.

Before taken to his new owners he had to be 'broken in'. He was put in a cage with a man in a red sweater, that is holding a club. When Buck sees this man, he immediately trys to attack him. Every jump that Buck takes at the man, he is knocked back by the club. Later, when he is just put with his new owners, a friendly dog named Curly walks up to one of the owners' Huskies, and the Husky attacks her right away. All the other dogs seem to circle the fight. When Curly is knocked to the ground, all of the Huskies attack her. When the dog owners clear the mess, all that is left of Curly is pieces in the snow. Jack London calls these the Laws of Club and Fang.

The Call of the Wild is a very good book. The first chapter hooks you to the story right away. With lots of action and adventure, this is a good book for anyone who can read it.

Review: I really didn't care much for the book because I don't find books about animals with human characteristics very interesting. But it was ok and bearable.

Summary: Loyalty Goes a Long Way
Review: I really enjoyed The Call of the Wild because although it was not a book I could relate to, London kept the plot running smoothly and lively. The book rarely became boring. London used so many metaphors in his writing I got a real feel for the scene. He made it very possible to see the characters almost beyond the third point of view. London's use of detail helped the scene come to life. He used such descriptive words that I could almost get into the scene alongside Buck. London seemed to be showing the different levels of loyalty of both men and dogs through his book. He showed the absolute extreme circumstances loyalty goes. I really enjoyed learning about the Alaskan culture. This book depicted a perfect image of what it would be like to be out on a trail on a sled with a team of dogs leading the way. It was very enriching and enlightening.

Summary: ¡ÚThe Call of the Wild¡Ú
Review: In the novel The Call of the Wild, Jack London describes snow-sledding dogs on a white snowfield. This novel talks about the dog, Buck, who lived in warm California and had an easy life but was sold by a gardener¡¯s helper to an auctioneer from Alaska. Buck suffered from hunger, was forced to do severe work, and poorly treated by most owners. After keen competition, Buck became the lead-dog of the snow-sledding team. At this time, we can not find the words to describe how moving the duel with Spitz was. After the duel, he met his new master, John Thornton, who saved Buck from danger, and Buck respected the master and loved him. Then the master was killed by Indians, and Buck got his wild instincts and his animalistic mind back. Buck wanted to go back to nature; therefore, he went back to the wilderness for the rest of his life.
Jack London expresses the agony and sorrow of human life into Buck¡¯s weary canine life. On the other hand, Jack London describes his own life by using the dog in this story. Through this novel, The Call of the Wild, readers can emotionally feel a sense of the author¡¯s life and trace his past. As we read the book, we can look at our own lives and feel emotions like guilt and sorrow. Consequently, I suggest reading The Call of the Wild because it is one of the most successful stories ever written.

Summary: The Call of the Wild...A great book that couldn't be better
Review: The Call of the Wild is a very intense and noble book. Buck is a very good and loyal companion to any one human. It is very addicting. It is hard to put it down after you have started. The many furosious elements that Buck had to travel through and their descriptions make it more addicting. You just start to grow a love for Buck for all of the things that he went through through out his life. It is one of the best books ever published.
