Call of the Wild

For my book review I chose Call of The Wild, written by Jack London. This book is about a dog that faces many difficulties in the wild. This is a book for anyone that loves dogs or reading heartwarming sorties about dogs. I think the message that the authors trying to tell you are that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger because, they dog goes though a lot but he still gets though it.

Buck was an average dog taken away from his home and forced to be a sled dog in the wild. When in the wild, he is to face the harsh climate and adjusts to the new wild life. Buck faces fights with the pack, whippings from the master, struggles with finding food, and even falls through freezing cold waters. He has to live and fight for himself. Buck faces many near-death situations. Buck has to fight for his survival even if it means he has to be greedy with the pack. Buck has to go through a lot before he is finally apart of the pack. But after being apart of the pack, nothing is the same. The life he once had is gone. His only way for survival is if he gives it his all.

           

The suspenseful book filled with nail biting moments will keep you reading! After every chapter I would want to keep reading. It’s a nail bitter because the author adds some events that you would never have guessed coming. You never knew what Buck was going to face. I definitely recommend this book to any dog lover. You will never look at your the dog the same. You can see what an average dog can do and that all a dog really wants is food, care, and love.
