If anybody had read the origonal version, you'd melt in every paragraph. It's hard to understand how a book could be written like this one. There is little dialogue, but a lot of action and description, which is what makes this book so amazing, not just the story and characters which is how I normally judge a book. Apparently dialogue weakens the books action and description.

Yes... I have the real version by J. London and the rewritten one in the Great Illustartion series. I like them both, even though there is a lot of swearing in the original.

There was swearing? I must have forgotten it though.

Yeah... I just read it yesterday.

I like Call of the Wild a lot (, of course, since it's where I got my name), but I still like White Fang better than it. That's why I simply put "I like it". Great story though.

I declare Jack London, The Greatest Author Forever and Ever!

I saw a little bit of the black and white movie. They terribly casted Buck. He looked like a Saint Bernard. But in the origonal towards the end it talks about Buck having a long muzzle, Though Buck was half SB half Shepherd, they could have casted a GSD crossed with an Sb, to most likely produce the description of Buck.

i loved the book Call of the Wild! i was almost as good as White Fang.

I loved that book! I don't recall much swearing, but then again, I might not have read the original, but I do have it somewhere in my house. I do recall some swearing in the one I read, but nothing worse than the "s" word.

Well, the Great Illustrated Classic and the Origonal, easily stand apart. In the origonal every paragragh melts you into a puddle at the amazing detail.

Absolutely wonderful book, if a little short...

Oh wait...it's the illustrated one...hmmm...I'll have to look into the other one...

Read both books of Call of the Wild and White Fang by London, amazing books really my favourites out there

i personally thought it was ok.

LOVE IT! Especially with White Fang!
