The Sea Wolf (Abridged) Audiobook

" "Mom, you HAVE to read this book!" Isaac kept insisting. So I listened to it on CD and enjoyed this sea adventure that reminds me of Moby Dick. "

" Rather a gruesome tale that wraps up a little too nicely, The Sea Wolf was an entertaining and sometimes harrowing read. In a way, it could be considered a good coming of age novel, nautical style. "

" Intriguing and slightly disturbing book. "

" Wow. Sea Wolf is a story exploding with interesting characters and a strong narrative. The story takes some unexpected twists and turns, but it ends up in a good spot, even if it is a little bit unsettling or it might feel a little anti-climatic. I walked away satisfied. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" Great story about a man who's life and character is changed by a near-death experience and the aftermath of having to survive in a completely new environment. I love to imagine how I would handle such a situation! Kept me on the edge of my seat. "

" I liked the adventure at the end of the book, but thought it was really slow until then. Itt had good philosophy's though. Interesting to think about. "

" About the captain of the 'Ghost', Larsen and his crewman Van Weyden "

" Damn good if you like nautical adventure AND moral relativism, which who doesn't? The only dissapointment is the totally conventional and unoriginal love story that takes up the final act. Entirely worth it, though, to meet Wolf Larsen. "

" The undisputed master of writing about life in the wilderness. "

" Great book. The story was suspenseful and the characters were very well written. You could identify with the different conflicts the characters had. A very good and fast read. "

" Voicerferously recommended to me. Wasn't that great. "

" I hated every second of reading this book, until I finished it, and I realized I actually like it a lot. "

" A good classic book...evil vs. good... soul vs. man... love vs. hate. "

" That a belief in God is more important than life. And it was interesting to follow the main character strengthen as Sea Wolf became weak. "

" 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. "
