White Fang

By: Jack London

Narrated by: Bob Thomley

Jack London's classic adventure story about the friendship developed between a Yukon gold hunter and the mixed dog-wolf he rescues from the hands of a man who mistreats him. White Fang is a companion novel and thematic mirror to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild.

Very Simply Written

I thoroughly enjoyed White Fang- partly for the story and partly for the "straight-to-the-point" writing style. The plot was interesting albeit slow in a way where you knew what was going to happen well before it happened. The events and timeline each had their purpose in the story, but the process of getting from one point to the next felt slow due to its predictability. My only other gripe with this book was the author's attempt to write about nature. As someone who reads a lot of books on nature by authors such as Gary Paulsen and John Muir, I could tell Jack London spent little time in the woods. He just couldn't present the descriptive elements or "feel-like-you're-there" imagery like John Muir, or encapsulate the mentality of respect for nature like Gary Paulsen. Obviously that's a subjective gripe for the book, but good imagery is needed in a book that takes place mostly in the wild.

What a good surprise this one was..

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Great story, well written, good pace and well narrated. A worthy read!

What did you like best about this story?

I wasn't quite sure of what to expect before starting. Soon after starting it was clear that it was something very good. In my opinion, an excellent story, very well told. I was "hooked" till the end.

White Fang

White Fang is a great story, I have read a lot of adventurous books in my life and this book was one of the best books out there. There is a lot of action in the this book which I love, if you love the outdoors like me I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books like this one!

Another Great Classic!!

I love that it comes from the dogs point of view.

What was one of the most memorable moments of White Fang?

When his final owner saves him from the "beast"

What does Bob Thomley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Tom does a great job in making all the characters accents and voices. You can really get the feeling and the idea of all the different people that are involved.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Life is tough when you're part wolf And they know it

Amazing

Not only was it a great story, but the audio itself was fantastic and the narrations were wonderful

Great Listen!

Another London classic, really gets inside the animal mind and his attention to detail is at his highest level here.

A Masterpiece

Narrated perfectly. The story is a masterpiece. Awesome illustration of nature's greatest animal. Also a study in human behavior and loyalty.

Very glad that I bought this

London found a surprisingly good forum to demonstrate his psychological insight, and I believe that my own insights are expanded from having listened to this audiobook. My only complaint is that it ends somewhat abruptly and inconclusively.

Excellent performance but Animal POV drags

Would you try another book from Jack London and/or Bob Thomley?

The first act of this book is fantastic, the besieged men, the creeping dread, the battle I was on the edge of my seat. Then the animal POV story begins and after an hour or so of that I just lost interest.

classic London. worth your time.

lf you know dogs, you will love this. The honesty of dogs comes thru and warmed you heart.
