The Sea Wolf (Abridged) Audiobook

" This is a great read! Sea adventure, love story, morality tale - it has it all. "

" A required reading assignment in high school, this novel became a favorite of mine then and has grown on me ever since. The parallels between the story line and the events of my life as it unfolds are profound. "

" One of the best books I read this year - and I just squeezed it into the final days of December! Wolf Larsen is surely one of the most compelling characters in literature. I would've given the book five stars, but agree with Ambrose Bierce's condemnation of the part of the plot dealing with the improbable, uncomfortable relationships between Van Weyden and Maud Brewster. Overall, however, a great read. "

" Wolfe Larsen is one of the most impressive and intriguing characters ever created. Love him or hate him, but you have to respect him. "

" Not as well known as his other novels but just as yummy and memeorable. "

" The discourse in this novel between the highly educated and pampered Humphrey van Weyden and the hard and self-educated ship captain Wolf Larsen is top notch. They really get to the core of how one's deepest held beliefs affects behavior and colors how everything is interpreted. I loved seeing Van Weyden grow, modify, and strengthen his beliefs based upon his encounters. "

" Such a great book!!! I enjoyed most every minute. I love reading older stuff with bigger words and then add in the adventure on the high seas and you've got a great summer read! I really liked the character development--watching people get stronger and more confident. "

" Great book. The balance of questions and answers provided through action is wonderful, "

" There's so much to say about this book, I don't even know where to begin. Surely, this is one of my new favorites! "

" A classic that should be read, mostly for experiencing Jack London's writing style and because in this book he creates one of the most memorable characters I've ever experienced. "

" Brilliant method of handling philosophy in a light hearted way. Fantastic dialogues. Exciting adventure. However the second half of the book does not take advantage, nor due justice to the antagonist. It was a good book, but it could have been a great book. Still it's worth reading. "

" Probably my favorite all time book. I don't exactly know why other than I admire Wolf Larsen's ruthfulness and his independence...his ablility to believe in himself despite a world of people believing otherwise. "

" Great! Why did it take me so long to read Jack London? "

" I was surprised by how quickly i was hooked on this book. yeah for classics! "

" There are many grammatical errors in this book. Mr. London goes in and out of the present tense, misuses quotes, and creates characters that I don't really care about. "

" An Emo captain Nemo takes a nerd hostage. Nerd adapts while cryin about it. Emo Nemo is kind of an ass and takes more hostages. Nerds escape and get lack luster revenge. "

" This book is a true classic. Much more than a story of seal hunters on the high seas, from the very beginning to the very end, it is entralling, frightening, awesome, heartwarming.... I loved it. They just don't write books like this any more. "

" What fun I had rereading this. I read it as an extra credit project in 10th grade. I had already read CALL OF THE WILD they were reading for class. "

" I loved it, perhaps more than it deserved, but it resonated with me. At once a book of meditative philosophy, a romantic adventure, and a castaway story tied all together. "

" It took me a bit to get into this book but I found it to be an enjoyable read once the plot got rolling. There was a lot of sailing jargon which slowed my reading down but it turned out that it didn't matter that I was unfamiliar with many of the terms. "

" I <3 Wolf Larsen. THAT is a man. "

" Ho-ho the descriptions of how hot Captain Larsen is are right up my alley...the philosophical discussions and whatnot were also pretty interesting. "

" I am always drawn to books that are considered Classics. It was a good read, though I wish the tension between Wolf and Hump would have played out more thoroughly and completely via a show down of wits, arguements wherein one cedes to the others opinion. Still a good read. "

" Tuned out almost immediately. I got through a chapter, but just barely. "

" It was a bit uneven at times but an overall enjoyable read. "

" Really a 3.5. This is the very facinating story of a weenie that becomes a man under the guiding hand of a mean old captain. And throw in a little love story to boot. "

" There's so much to say about this book, I don't even know where to begin. Surely, this is one of my new favorites! "

" Good story, though, it didn't blow my mind. "

" OK, not as engaging as his other works. The story jumps around, it feels like it was 2 separate ideas mashed clumsily into one. "

" Great book. The balance of questions and answers provided through action is wonderful, "

" The story begins as an examination of the philosophical clash between Darwinism and civilization, quickly derailing into a sorry excuse for a love story. I wasn’t expecting Moby Dick, but this was just lame. "

" I'm a big fan of adventure stories, consequently I like Jack London. I thought the ending a bit weak on this one, but overall a rousing sailing adventure. "
