A very short but beautiful book. I watched the Disney film with Harrison Ford and that stayed with me for ages, so I knew I had to read the book. It was cool reading and seeing the film in my mind as I read, though there were changes made to the plot for the film which makes sense having now read the book. I think I resonate with Buck a little; I think we all do. 

It was super fun reading about animals and from an animal's perspective, not many books do that! 

Ultimately a 4.25/5. Wish it was longer but tbh it didn't need to be longer, I just like reading about Buck!
