Download The Call of the Wild Audiobook

" The most important book of my childhood. Very exciting story! "

" I enjoyed White Fang more, but both were fantastic stories. "

" i love these little pocket books. a great couple of stories as well. quintessential London. "

" ehh okay i guess not my thing "

" I read this when I was young, and have memories of loving both of the books. Probably one of my favorite books growing up. "

" Mmm, these books. I read them when I was in my middle school girl phase, which was comprised of me loving wolves and everything about them. I didn't appreciate these books as I should have, merely treating them as fun dog books. I reread them when I was older and loved them much more. The characters and the simple idea that London conveys through both: the wild lives in all of us, and animals deserve a right to live and feel that. The characters and the way London stylizes both of these works is flawless and an amazing read. I've reread Call of the Wild many times, and doubtless I will read it many more. "

" A beloved classic. Mine was the hardcover Hamlyn illustrated in color version. "

" This book helps stoke the wildness within any young boy. It's about badass wolves and the spiritual connection to them, to fire, to history, etc. "

" Read this combo of his two classics on our trip to Alaska...made them even more interesting as we headed north. "

" Read this and White Fang back in the 1960's "

" I enjoyed these two books. They are fun reads, but not memorable or life-changing. "

" i could not finish this "

" I'm actually not sure I've read Call of the Wild before now, but it was shorter than I expected. I didn't find much depth, but enjoyed the story nonetheless. White Fang was as heart wrenching as I remembered. "

" Couldn't put it down/read when i was a kid in the early 80's. "

" I read White Fang (finally). Good book, not gory like a novel written today would be, but it gets the point across of the brutality of the natural world. Something to be learned from it is a deeper appreciation of what civilization really means, something we take for granted. "

" Should be read together. Awesome books! "

" Call of the Wild was my preference--it was just the proper length for its message. I really enjoyed the character and the whole atmosphere of the dog-sledding world. White Fang was really good, but it dragged in parts and I wasn't thrilled with it the entire time. "

" found this book to be a great read and kept my attention throughout the whole story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and nature. "

" I feel like 3 stars isn't enough but I didn't like it enough to give it 4. It's been a while since I've read a quick easy read that keeps me interested throughout the entire book. London did a great job writing this one. Just maybe need to up the emotion. "

" I read these books back in early high school 9th grade I think. Very good, I love stories with dogs. "

" I love this book. You root for White Fang through the entire book and can't help but be happy he finds his happiness in the end. "

" One of my favorite books. "

" Read it when I was still a little girl back in the swamps of southern Louisiana... it helped to shape my life! "

" The writing style isn't awesome... until you recognize that you are witnessing the world through the eyes of an animal... very cool. "

" I am so glad I picked up this book again. Haven't read it since Jr. High (which is a long time ago). Buck is such a wonderful spirit and in the end leads the life he wants to lead. "

" These are two amazingly written, brutal, beautiful stories. What insights into the mind of an animal. What fabulous scenery! What adventure! They are both love stories of a sort and transport you to the Yukon and everywhere else the story takes us. "

" Read both as a child and liked them, but now it's time to re-read as I don't remember much at all. "

" I liked it when I was a teen. "

" It's a classic, for one, and it is so for a reason. It's real. It's an adventure the rest of us will never experience in real life. To have it at your fingertips is such an honor because of the rarity of the situation. "

" London's "The Call of the Wild" is a beautiful and emotional depiction of the life of a dog born and raised in a loving environment. He is betrayed and has to cope with life in the wild. "

" Really enjoyed reading about Buck and his life. It's good to go back and read some classics especially when your teacher didn't assign them!! "

" A wonderful, quick read. I loved that it was written from the perspective of the dog, and while London clearly has an idealistic view of nature, I enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, I enjoyed it because he painted nature in such a vibrant, idealistic way. "

" Had to read it for school, don't remember much about it but I thought it was ok. "

" I read this along with my 7th graders in my internship this semester. I'm not sure I really like this type of story, but Jack London was definitely a very good writer, and creative to be able to write from a dog's perspective. "

" Very well written, just not my type of book. "

" This book is wasted on 10 year olds. "

" It was really sad!!! It was hard to get through! "

" I was really prejudiced, but it turned out to be a fair read. Still not my particular type of book.. but it I didn't feel the urge to put it down. "

" It's told from the perspective of a dog! "

" An honest and brutal portrayal of the North seen the from the eyes of the dog. Jack London paints a wonderful and realistic picture but it is a little too harsh for me. "

" I haven't read this in many years, and it was worth the read! Just awesome. "

" I would not reccomend this book, unless you like dogs ripping peoples throats out! "
