White Fang
White Fang | Jack London
White Fang is part dog and part wolf, and the lone survivor of his family. In his lonely world, he soon learns to follow the harsh law of the North--kill or be killed. But nothing in White Fang's life can prepare him for the cruel owner who turns him into a vicious killer. Will White Fang ever know the kindness of a gentle master?

White Fang | Jack London
Pickpick

This book shows you how a wild wolf thinks and how its treatment affects its behavior. He takes more than his share of abuse. White Fang‘s dark experiences make him a violent outcast. He becomes the alpha, but at what price? Can a ravenous murderer find a happy ending? Some may be offended by the calling of humans gods from perspective of animals.

Yet another brutal Jack London book. Not as brutal as White Fang imo..but still.. I think maybe I'm not a Jack London fan. Lol. The story of a wolf-dog as he fights to survive all man and nature can throw at him. And it's a lot.

IuliaC I remember reading this as a child and was really heart-wrenching 11mo

I‘m glad so many people enjoy this story. It probably deserves it‘s place as a classic. Unfortunately it didn‘t work for me. I found the writing very plain and I wasn‘t crazy about the P.O.V. Of the animal. I was sort of bored. 😑

ShyBookOwl I've never read this, but I've also never been into animal POVs so I'll take a hard pass here lol 14mo

This is my first Jack London. I love animals and nature so, I suspected I would appreciate his work. I was apprehensive as the description mentioned White Fang‘s cruel owners. Reading about the abuse White Fang endured hurt my heart and it made me love him more. I was hopeful he would find a human that would love and treat him the way he deserved. This is an incredible story of endurance and perseverance; I loved it from beginning to end.#MountTBR

TEArificbooks London is one of my favorite American authors. Try Call of the Wild next. 3y

My first encounter with a full length book by Jack London. I've read his shorter novels, some twice. Now it was finally time to try his longer stories as well.

As we know from Jack London, he's sometimes hard to read. He shows us the hard life of the north, where kill or being killed matters. Sure, his descriptions of wolfish life isn't up-to-date anymore, but he was one of the first who really tried to get into animal behaviour. ⬇

Jari-chan Bloody and merciless is this book still worth reading. Except you can't handle animal deaths. Then don't read Jack London... I've had troubles myself as well...

TheAromaofBooks Yes, his books are rather nitty-gritty, but they are generally excellent stories. Have you ever read anything by Jim Kjelgaard? His books are more about Wilderness Men And Their Dogs but I grew up reading/loving them. They made me want to be a hermit in the wilds, living off the land 😂 Snow Dog and its sequel, Wild Trek, are probably my favorites. 3y
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks I haven't heard about Kjelgaard by now, but I defenitely need to check him out! Thanks for the recommendation 😊 3y
TheAromaofBooks His books are a little dated (he basically never has female characters in his stories at all haha) but I have a soft spot for them. 3y
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks Childhood memories, right? 😁 3y

There's an infamous story in my friend group about one of us going to see #ThePassionOfTheChrist and afterward, overhearing a fellow audience member say, "I haven't cried that hard since White Fang!" Even today, repeating that is guaranteed to make us burst out laughing, and these two things are now forever, incongruously, linked in my mind. ? #MoviesInApril #ThePassionOfChrist

Two beasts made to hate.
One gave in; One learned to love.
Love wins with a flash.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a compelling story showing that although a person‘s or Wolf-dog‘s life may shape him or her towards a morose, solitary and hateful disposition, it is never too late as long as someone is willing to extend a hand. Plus, I find London‘s portrayal of the wild and the domestic captivating.

It was a placing of his destiny in another's hands, a shifting of the responsibilities of existence. This in itself was compensation, for it is always easier to lean upon another than to stand alone.

Half of this book is basically a dictionary 😂 There are over 200 hundred definitions counting all of the footnotes and honestly I find myself distracted by finding all those little numbers while trying to finish a sentence. 😥

PerksOfBeingABookworm I hate excessive use of footnotes. At what point do you stop to read them? Mid sentence? End of sentence? End of paragraph? I‘ve used footnotes in papers before, but I kind of hate reading them. 5y

Definitely not a cuddly puppy story. Brutal lives and weather. While this was a decent survival story for teenagers, it felt lacking in many ways. We got a pretty shallow view of the characters. Good or evil or indifferent with very little background info.

Jack London has an incredible capacity to write from a dog's point of view. This story is about survival, the devastating effects of abuse, and the healing power of love.

White Fang is a wolf who is one-quarter dog. He grows up in the wild, learns its harsh lessons - eat or be eaten. Then he becomes a dog, and is beaten and abused, which makes him distrustful and savage. Until he encounters kindness and love - which slowly changes him. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of my girls brought her beat-up copy of The Call of the Wild & White Fang to me. She knows I'm not a fan of books from the POV of animals. (I don't know why. I've always found them soooo boring.)

She asked me to give Jack London another try. So here I am, with White Fang on print and audio.

Thankfully John Lee makes everything possible 🙌🏻 Years after I read this for the first time, I finally care about this book. This is so exciting to me.

Owlizabeth Yes John Lee!! 7y
TheBookStacker I loved both these books as a child. I still revisit them frequently I love Jack London. 7y

"Human kindness was like a sun shining upon him, and he flourished like a flower planted in good soil.
And yet he remained somehow different from other dogs. He knew the law even better than did the dogs that had known no other life; and he observed the law more punctiliously; but still there was about him a suggestion of lurking ferocity, as though the Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept." #whitefang #jacklondon
