As Buck, a mixed breed dog, is taken away from his home, instead of facing a feast for breakfast and the comforts of home, he faces the hardships of being a sled dog. Soon he lands in the wrong hands, being forced to keep going when it is too rough for him and the other dogs in his pack. He also fights the urges to run free with his ancestors, the wolves who live around where he is pulling the sled.
Moving, powerful, and beautifully written. I leaked from my eyes more than once.
Awesome book
Great plot. Always kept moving, and kept me excited the entire time. I absolutely loved buck and his personality. His transformation from house dog to mad-lad was inspiring.
This book was beautifully written randx ended on a happy note.
The author seems to know an awful lot about dog fights, assuming this was not plagiarized.
This ended up being much better than I thought it would be based on the first page. It's not a perfect book, being a bit choppy in places, but it is engaging and visceral. I'm not big on dog stories, but I found myself identifying with Buck in many ways both endearing and disturbing. Overall, a nice little (short!) book.
I've never read a Jack London before, and didn't quite know what to expect: but this is a fascinating book, written by a dog (clever dog). Tales of adventure and derring do, but recounted with a fascinating view into the canine mind. Rather enjoyable.
