The Call of the Wild by Jack London
4.0
I must have been the only person who had no idea this was about dogs. For some reason I thought it was about a man's journey in the wilderness. Well, the first few pages fixed that for me. I removed one star from greatness because it was really hard for me to read about the brutality toward the dogs and *SPOILER ALERT* a lot of dogs die. It's all necessary for the book, but it was brutal reading it nonetheless.
So the book is about Buck - a proud dog with great pedigree who is dognapped and taken into the harsh, brutal environment. He learns to live without the comforts of life, finds love, and then finds his calling to the wild. Really liked Buck. More than I like most characters, but he is a dog and must say I tend to like dogs more than most people anyway.
