A review by michaeldonald
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
3.0
Warrior cats but with gruesome murder.
Buck is actually quite endearing and I think it’s impressive that the author makes you like him despite how horrible he is in reality.
This book was very clearly written by a man for men. Strong praise for personal traits such as ambition, strength, independence and violence. Buck is idolised for doing terrible things just for personal gain.
I like Jack London’s voice; I almost wish Orwell wrote Animal Farm in a similar way because then I would’ve actually felt connected with the characters.
