Life is good for Buck in Santa Clara Valley, where he spends his days eating and sleeping in the golden sunshine. But one day a treacherous act of betrayal leads to his kidnap, and he is forced into a life of toil and danger. Dragged away to be a sledge dog in the harsh and freezing cold Yukon, Buck must fight for his survival. Can he rise above his enemies and become the master of his realm once again?
Let me start this review by saying that I love books where an animal is the main character. And this book delivers why I love books with this topic.
I gotta say that this book was very depressing for me to read because of how people treat this dog who is the main character of this book. Buck gets kidnapped, beaten, forced to be a sledge dog in a harsh cold Yukon. I mean you get possible get more cruel than this to a cute dog.
I need to admit there were a lot of time where I wanted to beat the shit out of the people who were monsters to Buck because like I don’t understand how fucked up of a person you have to be, to be so cruel to an animal.
Because of the fact that this book was able to get such emotions from me, means that I was very invested in the story and in this book.
The story of this book was very good, interesting, enjoyable and it grabs your attention and doesn’t let it go until the very end of the book. Yes the story has some very heavy topics but at the same time thats the reason why I liked this book so much as I do after reading it.
The characters here are very good, because they have a lot of personality and feel like real human beings even thou I wanted to murder most of them over how they treated Buck in this book.
Buck is an amazing main character, and I really wish that we would get more characters like Buck in books. Where the main character is a animal and goes through a lot of shit in their lives. Because thats the recipe of how to get my attention and truly like the book.
The writing style, is pretty old English since it was published over 110 years ago, but in my opinion this book is one of the books where the old English only helps the book to be better rather than making the entire book feel like torture as you read it.
This book is also very good read for all ages not only for adults, because I watched a movie adaptions of this book when I was a kid and I remember loving the movie. And after finally reading the book, I gotta say that I love this book much more than I loved the movie based of this book which I watched when I was a kid.
I Give This Book 4 / 5
