The call of the wild


The call of the wild
By, Jack London

The call of the wild was a great book I really enjoyed it.

Some characters were Buck, Spitz, John Thornton, Sled dogs and many other sled owners.
All of the sleds Buck was on he either had to fight to become the leader or was the leader to start with.
The 140 pound buck was so much bigger than every other sled dog making him a natural born leader. Buck was also very affectionate and cared very much for his masters.
When John Thornton is killed by some Yeehat Indians Buck picked them off as they ran through the forest away from the raging animal they thought was a bear. Buck returns to the wild after the killing of John and becomes the “Alpha Male” of a wolf pack he met a few days after the death of Thornton. The wolf pack with the very strong leader became stronger and drove many animals away.
The Images of the ripped apart bodies of John and the Yeehats almost drove Buck mad. This Book was really good I would rate it a 9 out of 10.
