To Build a Fire: and Other Short Stories by Jack London
4.0
To Build a Fire: 9/10
The Chinago: 9/10
Love of Life: 8/10
After reading Cinema Speculation, I feel like reviewing everything I'm reading/watching, so here we go:
Three great stories about life and death, and what happens when you are face to face with the reaper himself. These stories was not just very exciting and dramatic, but they were also thought-provoking. What would I do in these situations? Would I have the endurance?
In "To Build a Fire" and "The Chinago" Jack London has created two very interesting, deep main characters. The hardy man with no fears of "To Build a Fire" and the optimistic migrant worker, who, despite that he lives in almost slave-like conditions, stays positive, of "The Chinago".
The last short story, "Love of Life", probably has the most exciting story and the ending, I liked the most, but its main character just isn't as interesting. He feels a bit one-dimensional.
Overall three very nice tales, that was everything I hoped for.
