A very difficult read, so much of the book was describing severe animal abuse and cruelty. The very few pages where Buck gets peace do not balance out the difficulty of the book. The book ending wasn't very satisfying sure, he is answering the "call of the wild," but it just fell flat

A very short but beautiful book. I watched the Disney film with Harrison Ford and that stayed with me for ages, so I knew I had to read the book. It was cool reading and seeing the film in my mind as I read, though there were changes made to the plot for the film which makes sense having now read the book. I think I resonate with Buck a little; I think we all do.
It was super fun reading about animals and from an animal's perspective, not many books do that!
Ultimately a 4.25/5. Wish it was longer but tbh it didn't need to be longer, I just like reading about Buck!

I wasn't enjoying the book. It was too much for me with animal cruelty in the first few pages.
