Call of the Wild: Book Review

Jack London Call of the Wild intrigued me with its characters and adventures of the pack.  Buck is an example of a leader that if was only human would be the leaders of great nations. Call of the Wild was a great book that kept me interested through the whole book.

Call of the Wild is a book filled with characters with great strength,adventures filled with endurance, and zeal to survive and become a leader.  Buck would be the best examples I can use for having a zeal to survive. From the beginning Buck endures hardship when he is taken from his owner in California and taken to Alaska,. but instead of giving up like a quieter, he takes his problems head on and becomes a leader. 


The whole way through the book the author shows how everyone has great strength to keep going and not sop . For example, when Buck and his team makes the long trip across the ice and cuts the travel time down by almost half. To me this shows that each and everyone of the members have the strength and want to work together as a team get the job done.


The endurance of the adventures to me was the biggest aspect of all three presented in Call of the Wild. In order for anyone/anything to survive in the conditions that the men and dogs did they must have the endurance to keep going. Without endurance in the conditions that they were presented with, Buck would not have become the leader he was, nor would the team had made it as far as they did.

Without having strength to keep going, the zeal to survive the horrible conditions, and have the endurance required for the trips, the book to would not have been as interesting as what it was. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read a quick read but be interesting at the same time.  When reading Call of the Wild, look for the different aspects of each character and how they adapt to their surroundings as they progress on their journey.
