5.0 out of 5 stars a sensational masterpiece, 20 Mar 2003
By A Customer
I first read White Fang when I was 8 years old by nicking it from my uncle and since then, i.e. 20 years later, I have read it at least 50 times.
This is a truly sensational masterpiece. The way London describes the ever-lasting struggle for survival, the dangers present in true life along with the deep feelings and emotions of a half-wolf, is overwhelming.
By the end of the book, you realise that have falen in love with white fang and want him to be yours.
I most certainly recommend this book to all children and also grown ups. read this book once and then you will realise that London was a genius, who truly understood the human nature. In this book, London illustrates the different natures of human being: love, hatred, greed, vengence, justice, etc.
This is a book for all ages and I assure you that if you look beyond the dog and human masks, you'll never regret having read this book and you most certainly won't consider it a waste of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is without a doubt the best book I have ever read., 28 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book is about a Wolf cub who grows up to be one of the most feared animals in North America. He has many fights and many owners, some kind and some horrible. There is a lot of deaths in this book and is very exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced narrative never strays, 20 Nov 2008
I'm wary of animal stories getting dull and excessively anthropomorphic (human) but this keeps clear of fatigue with a steely intent. One can sense throughout, London's urge to portray and illuminate the harsh truth of 'evolving nature'. Short sentences and a vivid imagination bring the task to pumping life as we follow the hard struggle for life; the trials and tribulations of the animal hero who, after a wild background and heritage, becomes the centre of our sympathy.

It's through this sympathy that we are awakened - at times violently - to the truth about life and growth, via darwin, and to an awareness of the environment that forges people and animals. An essential, accessible read at times greatly moving and sickening, this is both a rich feast and source of wisdom about the world and our relation to animals ...and dogs!
