hmsbrown 's review for:
The Call of the Wild
by Jack London
Listened On Audible
What an adventure! I watched the movie a few days before listening to this on audible. I’d never read it before. Never had to read it in school and man oh man - this is such an incredible story.
As a reader I was pushing for Buck the whole way and loved hearing him transition from a spoiled family pet (as all dogs should be!) to his true calling which is as an animal living free in the wild. Prior to watching the movie, I had no idea what the story was even about, but was drawn in from the very beginning and on the edge of my seat at the end.
I’m glad now that I’ve read it, or listened to it, rather, so I can know what sort of artistic license was taken for the film version. I’m happy that in the book certain people were able to get their comeuppance. Or should we just refer to it as Karma, Alaskan Wilderness style?
Now I want to go back and read White Fang.
Terrific story. If you haven’t read it, or listened to it, I highly recommend that you do!
