I very much enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first, but I think it is still a nice, relatively quick read.

Perhaps the original haf more substance, or maybe this graphic novel was made for a younger audience? There wasn't a whole lot going on for me

I'm beginning to feel that London revels in cruelty and has much respect for the "survival of the fittest". Don't get me wrong, Buck is a great dog, but it seems to me that London pays a lot of attention to ancestry, genes, and race (and, most importantly, discriminates on it). Now that I've read both White Fang and The Call of the Wild I don't think I'll be reading any more of his books; he really tips my racism sensor and I've been annoyed enough by this.

For what it's worth, I liked the ending.
