Dead in the water
1By freedomgrenadeGave up half way. The story drones on in repetition. Philosophical but the plot is not compelling. It’s no Call of the Wild.Best of the Best Adventure/Romance
5By NoCo JackReady to be taken on a grand sailing misadventure turned opportunity for self discovery and maturity via extreme hardship? Desiring to meet the devil himself clad in handsome human flesh? Holding out hope for the love of a lifetime despite having never been in love? Then give “The Sea Wolf” a go. Rich, deep, descriptive and powerfully enjoyable. A truly great read!Wolf Larson embodies everything that makes a great villain
5By PhysisicsA 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
4By djmeccaBack half kinda loses me but the Wolf Larsen character is worth four stars alone.Not London’s best.
3By QueuemanNot 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!
5By Bettyboop100This 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.Incredible

1By Football800It 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.Sea Wolf
5By Granny Dee 42Very inticing, recommend it, to all readers young no old.The Sea Wolf
5By JillyjrThe book was a great pleasure to read in the comfort of my own home when all hell was breaking open to Hump. I had a mere taste of this in Navy boot camp. Good twist adding Maude, and a great end. As in the books I have already read from him, the weakling becomes a man in the end. Makes you feel good. Thanks, BobThe Sea Wolf
5By TomDuganJack London is a great writer and THE SEA WOLF is an excellent book, deeper than his other great books but I think that WHITE FANG and THE CALL OF THE WILD were better. Nevertheless THE SEA WOLF was fascinating; a great read, with interesting philosophical perspectives on life, and ahead of its time in how he presents men women and the relationship of how people interact with each other in the struggles of life. I highly recommend this book as a must read!The Sea Wolf
1By CpeanoThe book was all right I like the last couple of chapters. But this book was not my cup of tea.
