Welcome to Litsy!

The Call of the Wild is the story of Buck, a tame dog, who is sold into the Northland during the Klondike gold rush. It is a short, compact, enjoyable story. White Fang is the story of a wolf who comes to tolerate man. I agree with most other reviews that prefer Call to White Fang. The first half of White Fang is just too slow. It only picks up about half way through when White Fang runs into Beauty Smith. Then it's a fast-paced romp.

They're like, the same book, but flipped. I prefer the born wild, is broken, fights hard, becomes a pet and is loved version of as to the born and loved in captivity, stolen, worked hard and then finding freedom. Which, is odd cause most prefer COTW right?

I have tried and tried to read this with my kids, but alas. I don‘t typically connect with books that have animals as lead characters. I just don‘t.

This is my daughter‘s FAVORITE.

I respect the heck out of this story and Jack London. I do!! And I love this time period-1800‘s, Gold Rush, etc. But after two weeks of this (excellently narrated) audio, I‘m only an hour into it. I‘ve also tried with print and ebook. I just can‘t keep going.

Easy read and such a good story. Had to re read this while waiting on my library pick up 😄

I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who likes animals or enjoys classics.

I read White Fang for school in a cabin in the mountains on a church youth trip. I'm not saying there's an ideal way to read any given book, but that was certainly one of them.

My #goodreadsgiveaway came in the mail today! It's a beautiful clothbound copy. I love it!

Dog eared pages is another one of my book pet peeves. This is my husband's book, so I try not to let it bother me. 😉 #marchintoreading #bookishpetpeeve #dogear @RealLifeReading
