Summary: An effortless read! Sheer magic!!!
Review: This book may have been intended for the young but should still be enjoyed by the young and old at heart. London's writing style is so exquisite and so little of it is weighed with nonsensical metaphors that all that is left are words and phrases that speak directly to your heart. One never has to stop and reread and try to guess at what the author maybe implying, because it hits you the instant the word travels off the page, through your eyes and into your brain forming the delectable image that it was intended. Many could benefit from reading Jack London, even those above reading so-called juvenille literature.

Summary: This book is about more than just a wolf.
Review: Readers can experience White Fang on many levels. At its root, it is a simple adventure story. Beyond that, it is the story of a wild animal and his interaction with man. We see the animal through man's eyes and man through the animal's eyes. But beyond even that, the story is so much more. The actions of White Fang, the other animals he comes in contact with and the men he comes in contact with can also be seen as a micro-view of society. Why else would White Fang view man as "Gods?" Those Gods range from cruel to kind. And White Fang's life experiences range from those that are incredibly narrow and self-centered to those that ultimately allow him to come to terms with his environment and the things he cannot control.This is a great book, regardless of how it is read or what is taken away from the experience.

Summary: Exciting and Profound
Review: Gripping story of White Fang, half-dog and half-wolf. But there is more to Jack London's story. London was a committed socialist and this story is a criticism of the capitalist system which ruled the modern world circa-1900. London's view of capitalism was that it was brutal and dog-eat-dog. This novel reflects London's interpretation. London also writes as if he took much of Karl Marx's dialectic interpretation of human events to heart. White Fang and most of the humans in contact with White Fang act in predictable ways because they are conditioned by the capitalist system to act accordingly. White Fang and most people he has contact with have no free will; they are the slaves to the capitalist system. We know now that the presumed replacement for capitalism, Marxist socialism, is all a bunch of rubbish but, then, because the rotton, perverse Marxist-Leninist experiment would not be tried until late-1917, London did not have the advantage of empirical trial-and-error. Of course, a gentler mother-hen socialism has since prevailed but I am sure Karl Marx would find disappointment in it. Today, White Fang would be doted over by scores of bureaucrats and enjoy the benefits of government subsidized food, shelter, health, education and recreation. White Fang is treated well by a nice family at book's end and he gradually becomes docile. Maybe tough old Jack London was, at heart, a mother-hen socialist like Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Summary: It gives you a firm grasp of life and its meaning.
Review: White Fang by Jack London is about a wolf-cub and his adventures of gowing-up. The cub's mother Kiche is half wolf and half dog, and his father, One Eye, is a wolf making White Fang one fourth dog. On the outside White Fang appears to be only a wolf. Throughout the book the dog inside of him begins to show mentally when he leaves the wild and becomes almost domesticated. After being separated from his mother and being the only survivor of the litter, White Fang becomes loyal to his god, Grey Beaver. Grey Beaver is an indian but White Fang looks at humans as gods that he must obey. I think the wildness in White Fang comes in his strong grasp of life. He is very smart about things and learns the laws of nature and the gods very quickly. He is also quick physically and is a good fighter. This works well for him because White Fang hates his own kind, dogs and wolves, and has a rough time getting along with them. White Fang is definately a solitary animal. This gets really hard when White Fang is given a new master Beauty Smith, who is cruel. White Fang doesn't want to leave Grey Beaver but is forced to. Things aren't looking so good for him until a man named Weedon Scott saves him and shows hom love. This was a wonderfully written book that gives the reader a real feeling of the Wild. I suggest it to deep readers. White Fang has a lot of interesting thoughts about life, but takes a lot of thinking. It is a book you have to work to understand.

Summary: Really good book, A must buy
Review: White Fang was really good because you could really fell as if you were the animal and by the end of the book you end up thinking the way a wolf would. The story starts out with white fang's mother killing and eating most of a sled team. It progresses with her finding a mate and giving birth to white fang. As he grows he learns famine and drought and by the time he is old enough to leave his den he is the only one left of his litter.
White fang quickly leans the law of the wild, eat or be eaten. Later on in the story his mother stumbles across an Indian village. As she was once owned by them she approaches them and they tie her up.
White fang is forced to stay with his mother so he has to live with the Indians to.
If you would like to know what happens next in the story you should by the book.

Summary: White Fang - a terric book!
Review: White Fang is captivating from page one. First the reader learns how wolves operate, and how wolves and dogs sometimes breed and spawn creatures half-wolf, half-dog. The story takes place in Alaska where life is hard and cruel and only the strong (humans and creatures) and tenacious survive. White fang is part-wolf, part-dog. His life starts out wonderfully, in which he is cared for by a very loving mother. But his life changes drastically and his toughness and desire to survive is severely tested. The adventures and people White Fang experiences will stretch your emotions to incredible lengths. Enjoy!
