Great story! I like London’s writing style in his description of the wilderness. But I found his description of White Fang’s mental processes questionable at times.

I loved it!
I can see through White Fang development a metaphor of our own development as human beings. How he hated men laughing at him, therefore, becoming wilder and angrier every time he was mistreated. Although, he was able to change thanks to the goodness and love of his master.
White Fang, as we people, shaped his spirit according to the things he had experienced, but there was always a chance to change the pain and lack of affection of his first years, and he knew how to recognize these new feelings coming from the same race once didn't appreciate him.
It also reminded me of my lovely Bemba, the Siberian Husky dog I used to have when I was nine years old :)

I understand the deeper meaning of the book, I really do. Especially when read alongside The Call of the Wild (which I will be reading next). I just can't get past the animal abuse.
