Editorial Review:
Ethan Hawke, star of stage and screen, and husband of Uma Thurman reads The Call of the Wild, Jack London's classic story of a boy and his wolf in the harsh winter of the Klondike.
The goldrush of the 1890's finds Buck, a mixed breed family dog stolen and turned into a sled-dog in the wilds. A survivor, Buck grows stronger in the conditions, showing courage, loyalty and determination. A story for all time.
The Call of the Wild (Ultimate Classics) Reviews:
Buck realizes his potential 
2006-02-07 - Gold was found in Alaska, the rush to obtain it required a strong constitution and many dogs to do the work that horses usually did in the states. The environment bread harsh attitudes. Also in the testing of ones mettle one finds their true potential.
Buck (a dog that is half St Bernard and half Shepherd) goes through many lives, trials, and tribulations finally realizing his potential. On the way he learns many concepts from surprise, to deceit, and cunning; he also learns loyalty, devotion, and love. As he is growing he feels the call of the wild.
This book is well written. There is not a wasted word or thought and the story while building on its self has purpose and direction. The descriptions may be a tad graphic for the squeamish and a tad sentimental for the romantic. You see the world through Buck's eyes and understand it through his perspective until you also feel the call of the wild.

2004-01-27 - i think the editorial review was a little bit off for this story, it's not 'a story of a boy and his wolf' its a story of a dog, various humans(owners), and the dogs transition eventually to a wolf pack. so i don't know whatthey were talking about.
