The Call of the Wild by Jack LondonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Re-read with a buddy!
Back in the day... like when I was a kid, I read this and enjoyed the whole concept of a novel written from the PoV of a dog, but oddly, I read Cujo before this.
The results?
A skewed perspective. :) I love dogs and love the whole idea that London UNDERSTOOD them... but since then? I have the sneaking suspicion we're not even talking about dogs so much as the desire to run away from Victorian civilization.
Why was this so popular back in the day? Because everyone was sick of being so progressive. It's better to be an animal rather than a subject of Her Majesty.
How Rebellious! How delicious!
No, no, we don't understand that concept today. *applies just a little more colored gel to his mowhawk*
