Just want to get out of here

How do I get to my library without writing a review? Is this fifteen words, yet?

High Adventure, very intense

How to survive the basic struggle of a man, but through a dog's eye's. Intense lessons with rugged poetry' done well.

Great Adventure Story

The opening sentence is a classic, foreshadowing the entire tale. Some anthropomorphism here, but it doesn't destroy a great adventure story, a look into the past, the Gold Rush in Alaska. The relationship between Buck and Thornton reminds us of how close man and dog can be, and the story never flags until the satisfying ending when Buck, too powerful a force to remain in civilization, returns to the wild.

Interesting book

I remembered this title from school and with the new movie coming out, I wanted to hear the story. It also made my long drive go by way quicker. I didn’t realize how much that poor dog had to endure. It was one heck of a life change that dog went through.

Loved it

A classic, emotional story of love, struggle and triumph as lived through the life of the family dog, kidnapped into becoming a sled dog. Excellent narrator.
