I like the general idea of the book, the story seems somewhat coherent, I just couldn't bring myself to love it. I feel like Buck's story takes so long to reach its climax and then when it does, there's something like 10 pages left in the book and it's supposed to feel wrapped up. It doesn't. As a character, I like Buck and his stubbornness. He's headstrong and knows when to fight and when to just listen. I like the various owners he goes through as he goes on this journey to finally meeting John Thorton. I almost wish there wasn't as deep of a description at the beginning of the book of his life with Judge, but I also feel that adds to the juxtaposition of his life in the North as a sled dog - I'm torn.
I can't say I'll ever pick up this book again and I doubt it'll ever be one that is anywhere near the top of my recommendations list, but I'm glad I read it.
