I really didn’t think I’d enjoy this book, as the people I know who love it are mostly boys I went to elementary school with, but I really loved this story. I don’t know if it’s common knowledge, but I didn’t know if was from the perspective of the dog and I really enjoyed how Jack London wrote his perspective. I really fell in love with Buck and other characters.

I do not understand how this book is beloved. Am I missing something? It's full of racist, violent content that serves no other purpose than to say "the dog turned to its wolf roots". Cool? What's the comment on it, why should we care? It's boring but skimmable and I only bothered finishing it because it was short, hoping that I'd discover some profound idea hidden in the nonsense. I did not. I actively did not like this book, not even the writing could make up for it. Not worth the time to read.
