I enjoyed reading Call of The Wild because I like reading about dogs but Buck is a brave dog because he goes on a very cold adventure and becomes a great leader with alot of respect. J.LIND
I liked reading the few first chapters but after the 3rd chapter it went a bit boring but then got better in chapter 7.
I wish that the book told you more about the adventurist activities rather than the emotional activities.
Overall i would give this book 4.5/10 because it didn't really make me want to read it.   
CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would change the fact that most of the dogs died.
I liked it because in the end buck lived and went with his wild brothers.
Over all I would rate this book a 7/10 because it was very interesting.
