Call of the Wild: While this book is somewhat predictable and a bit graphic in places, the story is beautifully told. Jack London paints a beautiful and realistic picture of Alaska and the trials of dog sledding from the dog's point-of view during the gold rush of the late 1800s.

White Fang: I had a really hard time getting into this one. It ended up being very good, but it was very slow getting started and I had to force myself to keep reading several times. Jack London tends to be very wordy, often describing something several times before continuing on and several times during the story, I felt that some parts could have been left out as they did nothing to further the story or provide any kind of a back story. They were simply there. Other than that, the over all story was very good and heartwarming. I am glad that I stuck with it until the end.
