It's not a book for a non-english speaker to understand clearly but the context of those stories in this book which written by Mr.LonDon are perfect for whom who love the nature, adventuring, or romance. The book’s including “The call of the wild”- a song of brave and truth, “Diable- a Dog”- a picture of hate, “The odyssey of the North” – a love and romance story, “To build a fire”, “to the man on trail”, and “Love of life”. Each story bring each own beautiful meaning...more

The kids and I listened to these on CD in the car. The language was very advanced, but Cyrus and Tessa liked it anyways. Sometimes I had to stop and make sure they understood what was going on, but they usually did. The reader was excellent and I liked it more than I remembered from my last reading. It made me nostalgic to go up North to the Yukon. I had to give it 5 stars to honor my gold-seeking ancestors!

I read this book a long time ago. I don't really remember it making a big impression. Maybe I should re-read it, but I probably won't. Too many other books on my list.

It was a very hard book to get into. It was very confusing at times, and didn't interest me. But who knows it may interest you.
