Summary
Call of the Wild is the story of Buck, a magnificent dog who is stolen from his idyllic life and sold for use on a Yukon dogsled team. His travels are not only of a physical nature, as he learns hard discipline from men who must discipline their dog teams, but his own journey back to his primordial roots in the frozen tundra - the roots of wolf. This amazing story of transformation is beautifully written and provides a glimpse of the hard life in the Yukon Territory during the 1900s.

Now I know why this book has been so popular for so many years. Well worth the read. I remember reading a book back at school from the animals viewpoint and got badly put off but you'd is excellent.

Profile Avatar Michael Hastings Jun 2013

Great story. Interesting and insightful. Tells a great story of a dog that went from tamed to wild. And the struggles within

Good book!

Profile Avatar Elizabeth Pedersen Oct 2014

Written from the viewpoint of Buck, the dog, nobody delves into the canine mind better than Jack London during a time when Yukon gold lured men into the frozen northwest. Exceptional tale.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2020

A great story and the reader made it fun and even more interesting.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2020

It's clear why this book is regarded as a classic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, in my opinion the narration wasn't of the same level and didn't fall and rise as Buck's (central dog character) journey did.

I love this book so much and I don’t know if there’s a movie about it

Profile Avatar Pooja M. Aug 2020

Loved the book, and the narration was good. Thankyou so much for the free audio book.

Highly recommended, and so glad I have now 'read' this great classic. The narrator was excellent, and something in me was deeply touched changed by listening and feeling into Buck.

Great book. The narrator did a very fine job--one of the best narrators I've heard.

Excellent! Narrator- excellent. I enjoyed this audio book so much that I listened to it twice.

Profile Avatar Daniel Y. Jul 2021

The narrator did a great job. This story was beautifully written and held our attention until the end. I'm not giving any spoilers, it is definitely worth the listen.

very violent! I hated it

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2021

I loved this book,its a fantastic read,i can highly recommend. Jack London was a brilliant author...The icing on the cake was the narration,, some books are spoilt because of the readers, but not this one he was spot on.i hope i can listen to more books that he narrates

Profile Avatar Sharon P. Jan 2021

It’s been many, many years since I’ve read this story. I’d forgotten why the purpose of the tale Jack London wrote is so meaningful. Call of the Wild should be required reading for high school or college students. Michael Scott is the only narrator who could do this timeless piece proper justice.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2021

Great book! The narrator did a good job as well. Recommend! A

Por algum motivo os livros de Jack London não me prendem, mas o narrador é muito bom.

Very good. I read this in one sitting and enjoyed every minute of the book

Profile Avatar Auryn R. Jul 2020

The narration gave this tale a depth of character. It's well told and an extraordinary story. A great bed time listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2020

Great listen. A real classic.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2020

First rate art of storytelling- gripping, emotionally charged. Imagery never leaves you. Jack London, great writer - audio book is beautifully interpretive of original writing.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2020

The beauty and the harshness of this story made it hard to put down. Its imagery continues to stay with me weeks after I finished it.

Profile Avatar Barbara M. May 2020

Great to re-listen to Call of the Wild. It's a compelling story told from the animals point of view. Excellent narrator! Highly recommend.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2020

Forgot how powerful and beautifully written this story was. I had read the book in college so it was good to re-read or should I say listen to.

Excellent and gripping!

Fantastic book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2020

Great (if quite harrowing) story, the reader sounds like a professional

Profile Avatar Lorenzo R. Feb 2020

one of the best books ever. makes you mad happy and want to cry but gives you the feeling in the wild.

Profile Avatar Chris S. Jan 2020

great book similar to White Fang also by Jack London. the narration is fine. better then the other free version of this book which switches narrators several times and is a bit distracting.

Profile Avatar SusanaBK Feb 2025

Wonderful!!! Such a great book!!

Profile Avatar Rondavooo Dec 2024

The writing was great- it didn’t pander to the reader, but kept everything on equal footing. The narrator was very good with a wonderful reading voice. My only complaint is I felt he mispronounced a few words.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2024

What a great book!! Wonderful!! Loved it! I already knew the story, read it when I was a kid. It was lovely to revisit it and accompany Buck throughout his life, how he adapts and evolves to thrive. Marvellous descriptions, it feels as if we are inside the book! The narration is brilliant, the tone , the rhythm !

Profile Avatar Marsha F. Feb 2024

I really like this book oh my God I just got to reading old pioneer by Willa Carter it was nowhere exciting as The call of the wild I got my probably because I'm an animal lover and I fell in love with the dog from that moment that he was introduced I really liked it because they were talking as if the dog was talking and I never read a book where the animals share his thoughts on all levels in all things he knew right from wrong good for bad all the stuff that's good and evil good people bad people he know when to submit and he know when not to submit but ultimately he went back from one to come from cuz all dogs originated from the world

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2024

I am a dog person, so I thought I might like this. It is an interesting premise that never reaches its potential due to the lackluster, obvious writing of the author. Somewhat predictable, parts of the book drag. I still found it intriguing enough to finish and had some emotional attachment to the main character. The narrator was ok.

Profile Avatar Julie N. Jan 2024

I had somehow never read this story. London truly gets into the mind of a dog and it’s both triumphant yet tragic along the way. Great narrator.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2023

loved it I even shed a tear

Profile Avatar Daniel S. Oct 2023

Well worth the time spent. Classic story. Very good narrator. One of those books that many of my peers read in school but I did not for some reason. And it’s free

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

I loved it. I was cheering in my mind!!!!

Profile Avatar Miss Biggun Sep 2023

Not really my type of book hence only 4 stars as I never finished it

Profile Avatar Jamie Sep 2023

Great story told from a dog’s perspective. I thought the narrator did an excellent job!

Profile Avatar PokeSmot Sep 2023

I think I enjoyed it more as a child. I got to admit with the names of all the dogs and people, I got mixed up on wether it was a dog or human speaking or being spoken about, but that could just be me, a whole lot of names get thrown at you. Cool story though. Glad it was short

Profile Avatar BRADLEY O. Sep 2023

Great story.

I really enjoyed this book. The story really keeps you engaged and the narrator was great, easy to understand and follow the dialog between different characters. Would recommend

I loved the audio. I had read the book before in print but wanted to hear the audio. Well done.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2023

Hey, Jack London, what’s not to like? I thought the narrator did an excellent job and only had one (to my knowledge) Northern town name mispronounced.

Profile Avatar Patricia K. Sep 2022

I loved it. Both content and narrator held my interest. This book brings raw emotion to the forefront showing the good and evil of mankind, which gives pause to who are the real animals. I found it to be heart wrenching at times. Great Book. The narrator did an excellent read clear and concise , I will definitely follow him too

Profile Avatar Nigel W. Jul 2022

Just a clasic. If you haven't yet, this is a must listen.

this story is a classic, it was mandatory reading back in school. It was a lot of fun to revisit

Such a great adventure story that shows the cruelty and arrogance of man and the perspective of animals. I thoroughly enjoyed the clear and pleasant sounding narration.

this book is in the kids book section it is way too violent to be a kids book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2021

Good story, of course, but the pronunciations of the narrator need to be checked. I was almost ready to turn it off after he said ‘primordial’ wrong for the 3rd time.
