Tells the story of the magnificent dog Buck, who is a loyal pet until cruel men make him a pawn in their feverish search for the gold of the Klondike, where he breaks free and becomes the leader of a ferocious wolf pack.
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.
