Although the book is marketed as a Young adult book, in my opinion, the message and the realities of human greed and exploitation of nature and animals were strongly portrayed, although it was written from the singular circumstances of the Yukon gold rush and general treatment of sledge dogs and guard dogsother than this I liked how realistic was London towards Buck's attachment of his old family and the new kinder master Thornton, also his instinct of getting back to his space like in the primitive nature of a beast I can see why the title suits the story so much.
But I wasn't too interested in the adventure parts especially Thronton and Buck's many adventures in the woods, they were hard to visualise for me
3. 25 stars from me.
