The Call of the Wild
by Jack London
Book source ~ Audio purchased at Chirp
An historical tale of sled dogs during Alaska’s gold rush. Told from the POV of Buck, a dog stolen from his home in a warmer climate and sold to assholes up north, it is not for the faint of heart.
I read this a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Not really. But it was a long time ago. I’m almost 56 afterall. This time I listened to the audio version and it was fantastic. Brutal, but fantastic. If that makes sense. Poor Buck really has his cushy life turned upside down. So cruel! I really hate that dogs were and still are treated that way. However, the history of dog sledding during the gold rush is interesting and the story is told entirely from Buck’s POV which is fascinating. This is an excellent story with an awesome narrator and I highly recommend it.
