" I only read The Call of the Wild, haven't read White Fang yet. Stories about animals are also at the top of my list and I think Jack London did an amazing job narrating. It is captivating how he uses words to paint the picture, you don't even need an imagination. "

" I revisited Jack London's Call of the Wild after 8 years and it mesmerized me then as it did today. London is superb at moving the plot along with his straight forward and direct style that makes reading his work a thoroughly enjoyable experience. White Fang, started slowly, but picked up and struck a chord where I felt a kindred spirit of this creature, particularly upon the transformation from hate-filled fiend to adoring companion. Both are great reads, and both will take readers on a thrilling adventure of the imagination to lands far north. "

" I absolutely love White Fang. It's quite unexpected how London starts his story with the she-wolf and not directly with the main character. I was caught unexpected so i read on eagerly. Throughout the story, nobody can miss that london is a faithful believer of Darwin's survival of the fittest. What worst, he keeps on reminding of how "the clay is mold into different shapes depends on the environment." It gets on my nerve sometimes feeling I'm being preached. I didn't think I'd like it until the part when White Fang meets his love-god Scout. I actually cried when his master decides to leave White Fang behind and locks him in the cabin. It's such a memorable, powerful story one hardly comes across in literature. ^^! "

" At my parents house, there is a set of Jack London books and short stories that sits on the shelf in our living room. I have tender memories of those books, because when I was a little girl my Daddy would read them to me. White Fang and The Call of the Wild were my favorites. "

" Brilliant. No wonder these are regarded as classics. As the synopsis suggests, reading the two novella together is a good idea. These reminded me of Black Beauty in style, yet London captures the harshness of the Northland and its people with the ever-present "Wild" that sets these two works apart. "

" I think it's funny London is mainly known for these dog books. He's written much more, though mostly man vs. nature, the beast inside of man. It all builds a very Marxist, atheistic view of man and the world. Call of the wild is really no exception, neither is White Fang. "

" My fifth grade teacher read White Fang aloud to our class way back in 1971. I was mesmerized by London's language and the images he conjured up in my mind. I read Call of the Wild later and decided then and there that Jack London was up there on my favorite authors list. "
