    A tense adventure featuring the most brutal and fascinating character in literature, Wolf Larson. Tip: Recommend reviewing a ship diagram and basic terminology while reading.
  • Impressive

    Back half kinda loses me but the Wolf Larsen character is worth four stars alone.
  • Not London’s best.

    Not as good as his other books. “Call of the Wild” and “White Fang” were much more compelling. I’d recommend them before this.
  • High Jinks on the High Seas!

    This Jack London classic was full of action and intrigue. I would rate it PG 14 due to the violence and gory details depicted within. This ocean adventure was hard to put down, with edge of your seat action and wonderful romance. I highly recommend it and was sorry to see the end.

    What a book! High adventure on the high seas. Deep psychology. And what a dark, twisted nemesis in Wolf Larsen. Unforgettable.
  • Terrible book

    It is a book with the same thing happening over and over again it is so boring and I didn't want to read it but I wanted to see if it got any better it didn't they just went through a storm someone died or a story was told and someone gets punished over and over again it happens to every chapter do not read it trust me on this one.
