A review by schenkelberg
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
3.0
I picked this off my shelf, as part of an ongoing battle against the rows of books I've yet to read - which continually refresh themselves as I give away most books once I read them.
The most noteworthy part of this text was its savagery, quickly reminiscent of The War Chief by Edgar Rice Burroughs, for its brute descriptions of violence as well as its attitude towards Native American peoples.
Jack London is someone I've been meaning to learn more about, and despite my mentioned discomfiture at its at-times barbaric prose, I'd like to give some more of his work a try. I remember reading White Fang a long time ago, and perhaps I'll return to that book - I remember enjoying it much more than I did this one. All in all a good read, brilliant use of language to evoke an escape to The Klondike Gold Rush.
