The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and Other Stories by Jack London
4.0
I have set myself a challenge to read more classics - and have previously read one of Jack London’s short stories (which I loved).
I this book, I enjoyed the writing, but not the stories. I acknowledge these stories were written in the early 1900s so times were different, but it was quite jarring to read of the animal cruelty and words describing people from other cultures.
Jack London sure knows how to write though. White Fang was easily the more enjoyable story out of the collection, but it was still a relief to finish it.
