Title: The Call of the Wild
Author: Jack London
Copyright: 1903
Summary: This story is about Buck, a domesticated dog (Saint Bernard-Shepherd) who lives in California with his owners. One day buck is kidnapped, taken up north and sold to various individuals in the gold rush and sled dog industries. He has good times and bad times and eventually has to make the decision to remain domesticated, or answer the call of the wild.
My Opinion: This book was interesting for me. The first half was a bit depressing because it is a dark time for Buck when a lot of sad things happen to him. He is ripped from his “family” and treated very badly by several owners. By the second half of the book though, Buck has started to figure things out and has some pretty good experiences. The book was enjoyable for the most part, and for that reason, I would recommend it.
