Book Review

The Call of the Wild

The Call of the Wild
  • Jack London
  • Aladdin
  • 2003
  • ★★★★☆

I started this one after having read Into the Wild, another book set in the Alaskan wilderness. I can see why the subject of that book liked it so much.

Had I not given up on it thirty-five years ago, my vocabulary might be much improved today.
