Call of the Wild (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book was Powerful an very well written... but frankly I hated it. It was just so sad and I didn't really relate to the story in any way. It is a classic book and very famous but i didn't enjoy the read. "

" A classic, an easy read, compelling, exciting, gut wrenching. A story for all ages -- I read it when I was 12 and again this past year! And, I loved it all over again. There are many classics available free on the Gutenberg Project website, if you have a reading device like Kindle. I loaded up on Jack London. "

" Amazing book. Perfect for animal-lovers and fans of classics. "

" I haven't read this book since 6th grade and found it to be even more enthralling than the first time I read it. I highly recommend this book "

" I read this when I was in 8th grade (2010-2011) at Sierra Vista Middle School (Irvine, CA). "

" The Call of the Wild is an adveturious tale. It is very interesting and emotional. I wouldn't recomend this to this to children in elementary school due to violence in the book. I thought it was quite raw myself and i'm in highschool. I do recomend this to high school students. "

" I don't remember this being so gruesome when I was a kid... "

" Excellent read. Beautiful and haunting depiction of the Canadian arctic and a true classic story of survival. "

" Very similar to White Fang.. And I loved White Fang :) "

" The quintessential young-adult tale of wilderness, survival, human-animal relationships, and hardship. So amazing! "

" I retread this for a second time recently, since it was free on iBooks. What a great book. It speaks to me on so many levels, allowing me to reflect upon humanity, wilderness, and my vision of the man I want to be. "

" A boy and the dog that teaches him how to become a man. Is there any plot line that strikes deeper in a male heart? I think not. "

" I feel I would have enjoyed this book if it werent for the fact I was forced to read it for my English class in grade 7. It's a pleasurable read. Not awful, nor wonderful. Pleasant. I think everyone should read it once. 3 stars. "

" An all time favourite and such a super read. "

" This was a very interesting book from the perspective of a dog of all things. A bit difficult at part, but otherwise interesting in the best possible way. "

" This was great, very quick read, when I picked it up I could barely put it down. I enjoyed it thoroughly. "

" I read this book as a young girl, when my obsession with Jack London was in full swing. Fantastic tale of survival that will make you want to first get out of your cubicle, and second, make you want to get a dog. Not just any dog, a wolf-dog with a loyalty fiercer than his bared teeth. "

" It's kind of sad, but I liked it anyway. I recommend it to you, you, you and you. Unless you don't like it when dogs get hurt don't read it. "

" Buck may have been born into a good family, but being dog aped and sold over and over and abused until one man realized his strength and used him as a sled dog. I love this story, and this is like my 3 rd time reading it. "

" Some of the connections were better. "

" The depressing life of the dog Buck, touted as an adventure novel. Jack London does a great job of making his audience empathize with Buck's situations, but it just feels like a never ending spiral downward, which is not for me. "

" Read this book as a youngster and of course is a classic for good reason. The bond between man and man's best friend is undeniable. "

" Really good adventure story. My kids loved it. "
