White Fang, by Jack London
White Fang, the popular 1930s book by Jack London, is one of the most addicting books I've ever read. The story is about a half-wolf female in the pack who is then taken in by Native Americans, and has more half-wolf-babies, of which just one survives. What I liked best about this book was how the author takes you into the mind of the cub, and tells you what it's thinking, from hitting its head on the wall to its first encounter with a ferret. I would tell anybody who likes dogs, wolves, or any kind of animal that can bite and has 4 legs to read this book. My favorite part of the entire book was between the cover and the back; everything about White Fang was great. There is only one thing I know nobody will like about the book: when they finish it.

This is a fantastic book that is written by a fantastic author, the author of Call of the Wild. It is such a great story with a decent layer of depth and complexity to keep you hooked until the end. While Call of the Wild is better known, this one in my opinion is much better when it comes down to it. Fans of the classics should be pleased with this one, but fans of lighthearted stories need not buy this one. It's rather sad all in all, but like with many good books that sadness is needed for added depth. People who enjoy adventure and drama will enjoy this one especially well, but I'd recommend this as something many people should check out at the library if they're not sure.

I absolutely loved this book. The unique way of showing the perspectives of an animsl, made me like this book. The book also had great characters and an interesting plot. This book will be loved by the people who are interested in the wild. It will make them think and feel like they are in the wild. This book made me feel the joy and misery of the wolves and dogs. It will make you sympathize with how the animals think and act.
