It's a very stark book in some ways but it really conjures up the atmosphere of Gold Rush-era Yukon Daily Express . The opening chapters are haunting, their depiction of the wilderness of snow, ice and forest faced by gold prospectors exquisite and terrifying. One hundred and one years after its publication, it is still enthralling. The menace of ever-present death, for man, dog and wolf alike, in a setting of remorseless beauty, is bracing and humbling Herald Raw narratives of visceral appeal whose cinematic energy cry out for film ada
Great Story Cheryl Koopmann This is a great story that I have read many times. It is one of those books that I fall back on when I need a comforting story to read.It follows the life of one poor dog as he moves from one master to another, and even ends up as a fighting dog at one point.

It seems like someone took a kindle version, printed it out as an HTML threw a more or less pretty front cover and hideous, white back cover. If I had the time, I would have returned the book and bought White Fang from Barnes & Noble. So, great read, but t
