The Sea Wolf by Jack London
3.0
3.5 stars
It took me exponentially longer to read this than I wanted, partly due to life and partly due to the slowing in the second half and the introduction of romance… However, for a classic, it is deeply accessible, fun, funny, violent, and existential. The first half had me greatly amused by the antics on the ship.
It’s an underrated, swashbuckling, seafaring tale with a formidable (and handsome) foe at the centre, existing in the philosophically sociopathic captain Wolf Larsen. Must read for pirate lovers.
