debrabrinckley 's review for:

The Call of the Wild by Jack London
4.0

I recently reread this book with my high school girls and truly enjoyed it. Although, to be honest, I cannot quite articulate why. I recall feeling the same way when I read it the first time. I found the development of Buck's character highly intriguing, the narrative of the Alaskan frontier during this time period incredibly interesting, and the notion of London's philosophical ideas woven into the story fascinating. I like reading that makes you think beyond the story as you read between the lines. Jack London always manages to do this for me.
