Jack London, 1903

Date read: 10/28/24


This, like Watership Down, is a beautifully written novel from the perspective of an animal. Unlike the rabbit book, this is not fantasized with rabbit-civilization. It is very realistic, hyper realistic, with gory detail. Not a book for kids. Gorgeously written, captivating. I read it in a few hours.
