Book Review: A Book That Kindles Your Wild Side
Summary: 4 Stars
Spitz, king of the Yukon Wilderness, verses Buck from the sun-kissed Southland, in extreme combat. The two of them bite and growl at each other with kindling eyes of fire. Buck gets a burst of undeniable energy and goes for the gold, ripping and tearing at Spitz even more each second. Jack London's, The Call of the Wild, is an extremely powerful book about the main character, Buck, transforming from a lazy, sun-kissed, dog, to a ferocious, primordial, timber wolf who takes no prisoners and shows absolutely NO mercy.
Manuel, Judge Miller's gardener, sells Buck to the man in the red sweater. At that very moment, Buck has only begun his journey in learning the one definite law of the North, the Law of Club and Fang. The one that says kill or be killed, every dog for himself and survival is above all.
From then on, Buck is adjusting his ways to the snowy plains of the Yukon. He learns important rules of survival like to eat your food before other dogs scarf it down behind your back and to dig a hole and sleep in there until the harsh, hurtling, wind finally comes to a halt.
But the owners of the sled team changed over and over until Buck finally met John Thornton. Until then, Buck never had truly loved any of his other sled team owners. Buck shared a deep, compassionate, unconditional, relationship with John Thornton and saved his life many times.
But when angry Native Americans, ---- the Yeehats, come steal all of John Thornton's gold, ruin the entire camp, and mercilessly murder everyone, Buck comes to the rescue. He viciously tears and kills every single one of the Yeehats that comes in his path. That's when Buck finally realized that he had killed the noblest game of all, -- man.
That was when Buck heard the call, the famous call of his entire species, --- the call of the wild.
