The Call of the Wild
by Jack London
Wow, I’m shocked with how much I loved this classic!
The audiobook of this was just excellent.
Pablo Schreiber knocks it out of the park for me on narrating The Call of the Wild.
His voice tells me the story of Buck, the strong and brave dog that survives man and beast. I got a bit teary eyed at the end because he relates this book so well on this dog's life journey.
Like most, I’ve seen tons of movies for The Call of the Wild so I was not surprised by the plot.
I still don’t feel that the movies can give you an unflinching look at how wild and brutal the Canadian wilderness was that’s in this book.
It’s based in 1890s during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon area.
The gold frenzy has gripped the area and prospectors are coming to the Canadian wilderness in droves.
And the only thing that can transport these treasure hunters around are dogs.
Amazing sled dogs that travel hundreds of miles in the freezing cold and snow.
The Call of the Wild is just long enough to relay the amazing life and journey of this dog, but not too long that it trips all over itself in unnecessary details.
The book is brilliant, heart wrenching and thoughtful on how animals relate in a survival setting.
The cunning and strong do survive!
The book does have animal abuse and cruelty, but I felt it was historical on how it’s portrayed.
Did I like those scenes? Hell no! I’m a dog owner/lover but I also know that this was a different time.
In the 1890s, they worked dogs and used them like a tool.
As an animal lover, I cheered for Buck throughout the entire book.
I mean, who doesn’t love a scrappy survivor, even if it's in shaggy and drooling form?!
I feel this book is a must read for fans of the classic book genre. I’m so glad I finally got to it and the audiobook for this was just great!
