Title: Call of the Wild

Author: Jack London

Pages/Format: 172/E-book

What I Thought: Call Of The Wild is about a dog named Buck who is sold to 2 French-Canadians and is shipped off to Alaska.  He is trained to be a sled dog, but is eventually sold to another couple who know nothing about sledding or living in Alaska.  They come across a man named John Thornton, who ends up keeping Buck.  However, while Thornton is searching for gold, Buck explores the surrounding wilderness, and comes back to camp one day to find that Thornton and the others in the camp have been killed, so he gives into his instincts and ends up killing the Yeehat Indians as revenge for killing Thornton. 

I couldn’t get into it at all.  I was bored reading it, and found myself reading parts of it several times because I couldn’t pay attention to it.  While I found the perspective interesting (it was told from the point of view of Buck), it wasn’t enough to make me like it. 

Rating: 1 out of 5.  I couldn’t get into, and I was bored reading it.
