The Call of the Wild (Adaptation): Oxford Bookworms Library Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Even though I read Call of the Wild for about 5 years, it really impressed me. It was very enjoyable to read and it made me a book lover. Also I think I am going to read it again because I couldn't understand well the critics to system while I was 10. "

" Nothing what I expected and that was a good thing. This quickly became an obsessive read but lucky being only 70 odd pages, not a consuming read. Definitely recommended especially if traveling out west. "

" Great description of life and adventure in the wild frozen north. "

" Im not sure wether to judge this book on how it was written or the story itself. I hated what happened to buck dont get me wrong but the end was such a happy ending because Buck got away from the evil people. Jack London put so much enphasis into Bucks character that you were so mentally attached to him, and didnt want to see anything bad happen to him, but thats what made it good. Moreover, thats what I kinda wanted to happen, I wanted to see the little doggie set free, being the animal lover that i am... But they were so mean to him. I hated seeing buck being beaten butas i said the story did in fact have a happy ending. "

" Probably one of the most disinteresting, depressing books I've read. I'm very surprised this is considered as a classic. "

" Great book for grown up kids "

" One of the many Jack London works I've read. I'll admit he probably isn't for everyone, but if you like realistic adventure, like I do, then you'll probable enjoy this. Simple people from a simpler time. "

" It was constanley suspensful.You need to read this book about what a dog would do for "the love of a man". "

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

" Read this book at age eleven. Wonderful. "

" I had to read this for my English Class, I liked it, Buck was a strong main character, but in some parts in was slow and it was a little confusing. "

" Great book, but very sad!!! :( "

" This was an interesting read, but the problem was that it was a prescribed book for school...so as you probably guessed, my heart wasn't into it. Some people might enjoy it, but I just read the book with the purpose of finishing it and getting it over with. "

" This is a very beautiful book. It is no wonder it is a classic. It's very beautifully-written and has a strong message in it. I highly recommend it. "

" Paul Bransom did not illustrate the 1903 Edition of 'The Call of the Wild'. In November 1912 Paul Bransom illustrated a special holiday edition of Jack London's classic. I have 4 of Paul Bransom's original pastels which were used for this release. "

" A children's classic about a dog, Buck, taken from his comfortable home and forced into working in a harsh new environment. I read this as a child and loved it. I would definitely recommend this to school age children. "

" Craig asked to listen to this one on our drive to NC. I had never read it before and I really enjoyed it! :) A great quick read. "

" Difficult to read some of the things that happen to Buck but I really loved the story. "

" Pick a version with an intro that goes a bit into the history of this book- it's fascinating and makes the book so much more fun to read. Fast read- great for dog lovers. "

" Solo por este libro quisiera tener como mascota un hermoso perro como Buck. "

" Ugh. Why do people go on about Jack London so much? This read like a budget Alaskan Hemingway. "

" I liked how Buck was able to over come some of his old ways to be able to survive in his new enviroment, and become a "Wolf" in the wild. Also how he became a legend for his size. "

" While I found the writing to be fairly simple, it still painted a very stirring picture. "

" I liked this book so much it was so interesting and it kept my interest. I highly recommend it to anyone. "

" 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! "

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

" 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. "

" 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! "
