White Fang

In my quest to fill in the gaps of my unread classics, this is another book completed. I didn't love it; a little too much animal cruelty and violence between animals. The kill or be killed, kill to eat and survive... I have never liked books written from an animals point of view and this is mostly told from 3/4 Wolf 1/4 dog - White Fang. That said, it was an interesting process as he moved from wild to tame, though a variety of owners and living situations. It's a fairly quick read, doesn't cost much and was glad I read. Probably an older boy book, with some discussion on why people and animals turn out like they do and how White Fang evolves because of his treatment.

Yes. Great story, well written, good pace and well narrated. A worthy read!

I wasn't quite sure of what to expect before starting. Soon after starting it was clear that it was something very good. In my opinion, an excellent story, very well told. I was "hooked" till the end.

The first act of this book is fantastic, the besieged men, the creeping dread, the battle I was on the edge of my seat. Then the animal POV story begins and after an hour or so of that I just lost interest.

I love that it comes from the dogs point of view.

When his final owner saves him from the "beast"

Tom does a great job in making all the characters accents and voices. You can really get the feeling and the idea of all the different people that are involved.

Life is tough when you're part wolf And they know it
