A True Classic
5By JWilly 7850I read this book over 50 years ago - it was Great then & it was great this time too. And it will always be great. My son & daughter love it, & I think their children will love it tooAwesome story and explanation
5By hot dog hejebdisbsjdjThis is one of the best animal books I have ever read, most books are made up facts or personify the animals. This book has no supernatural only pure biology but it still makes a great story. The story is told from 3rd person omicient meaning you can tell the thoughts and events happening all around, though he manages to keep the focous on white fang without him speaking but simply living and acting.White fang
5By Dookie134PerfectA true classic.
5By QueuemanThere is a reason that books are considered to be classics, and that is the great writing that goes into them. Jack London is one of the great writers. I put him up there with Melville. “White Fang” is a true classic. London has the ability to put the reader into the mind of the wolf-dog. It is extraordinary. I would recommend both this and “Call of the Wild” to any reader.Great book

3By SteveClark590Strange and inconsistent pacing. The first few chapters were thrilling. Then it got slow. Then slower. Then it moved along a bit. Then slowed. Then got interesting, then more interesting. And then the ending was a rush job with many missed opportunities to glorify the proponent.An endless story to read and enjoy - never wanting to put it down !

5By Ethan StupkaAbsolutely fantastic. JACK LONDON IS KINGIt’s all about perspective
4By Sushi ShellAfter reading Call of the Wild, I was excited to read it’s famous counterpart. London’s writing is just captivating. The raw, ferocious and morose life of this wolfdog was just so interesting and engaging. I’ve been an avid reader all my life, but to find a new voice, a completely new perspective was so refreshing. You find yourself sympathetic to what’s traditionally seen as one of man’s biggest adversaries. My first wolf book, Julie of the Wolves, showed me how intelligent, adaptive and social wolves could be. White Fang solidified all those ideas and gave me a deeper understanding of life’s idiosyncrasies and how compassion can alter your entire path for the positive. Well done Jack London, bravo.Pretty good!!!
5By -Bambino-The beginning was a little odd but once the she-wolf had the cubs it got a lot more interesting!! It's a little gory so I would recommend ages ten and over, over all it's a really good book!!!!!!!!White Fang
5By Awe UstiReading 'White Fang' I found it very insightful and interesting from the heart and soul of a creature of the wild. My father was a nature lover and brought home many wild animals that were sick and needed care. One coyote pup not yet weaned, became my own. In this story I see so many similarities that my soul mate had. We cared for a wolf, a seal, a badger, and a bobcat. All through the book I could feel the truth of this story. Thank you for refreshing my old warm memories. Wanda.Continues to be great year after year
