Just want to get out of here

How do I get to my library without writing a review? Is this fifteen words, yet?

High Adventure, very intense

How to survive the basic struggle of a man, but through a dog's eye's. Intense lessons with rugged poetry' done well.

Great Adventure Story

The opening sentence is a classic, foreshadowing the entire tale. Some anthropomorphism here, but it doesn't destroy a great adventure story, a look into the past, the Gold Rush in Alaska. The relationship between Buck and Thornton reminds us of how close man and dog can be, and the story never flags until the satisfying ending when Buck, too powerful a force to remain in civilization, returns to the wild.

Interesting book

I remembered this title from school and with the new movie coming out, I wanted to hear the story. It also made my long drive go by way quicker. I didn’t realize how much that poor dog had to endure. It was one heck of a life change that dog went through.

What did you love best about The Call of the Wild?

The narrator Mike Boris brings new vigor and emotional depth to this classic tale. I only wish he would be asked to read more of the Jack London catalogue. For some odd reason, I had postponed reading this short book over five decades. Had I but known what a truly moving psychological journey it would take me on ~ an episodic narrative packed with a host of interesting characters, both canine and human ~ I would have devoured this story long ago. Five stars all the way.

Any additional comments?

Pitch perfect narration, His work truly enhanced an already masterful tale. I will keep my eyes opened for the name Mike Boris in the future.

How cool are the animals in nature
