I went into this blindly. I thought I knew what the plot was about but I was way off. Had I known, I don't think I would have picked it up. I have a very low tolerance for animal abuse and violence. I read on since this is a classic (and not a long one at that) hoping it would improve. I also don't like heavily accented writing because it messes with my brain and throws of the rhythm of my reading. My rating is solely on personal taste. I can see why it's a classic and while people like it, but I couldn't get past the gruesome content.

An amazing tale of sheer strength and determination, The Call of The Wild has my heart. I loved the relationship between Buck and John Thornton ❤️
