Customer Reviews
Good but no “ Sea Wolf”
Well written , of course, but it pales in comparison to “Sea Wolf” however unjustly.
I had just finished the aforementioned when I came upon “ White Fang” hoping for more of the same.
It is a brilliantly written book and definitely worth a read.
I just should have waited a while to read it.
Or, better yet, read it before reading “ Sea Wolf “.
The greatest book of Jack London
This book is amazing, telling the life and experiences of this wolf dog called White Fang, and the forces that moulded him from his birth. Despite being moulded by the law of eat or be eaten, the persecution from his own kind, and the cruelty of men, he found someone to love, and to take care of him. The moral of this story is, despite your upbringing, there will always be someone to soften your hardened clay of hardship, and family or other related traumas.
A great read
I was very surprised by this book. I was expecting a slow pace story like it is often the case with older work. But this is a fast paced read and seeing the world from the perspective of a wolf is very refreshing. Most enjoyable, and free!
