Summary: Novels and Stories-- Jack London
Review: A great collection of classic literature for lovers of the outdoors, social commentary, and students of American literature. From the internal struggles of Buck in "The Call of the Wild" to the intense individualism of Wolf in "The Sea Wolf" the reader is made to feel the emotions and desires of the characters. In addition, the text includes commentary on the texts and a chronology of London's life. These are helpful to the American literature student as well as those wishing to learn more about the life of this interesting man. Including some of the greatests novels, novelettes, and short stories in American history, a reader cannot go wrong with this wonderfully written and beautifully bound text.

Summary: Reality or Fantasy... Which one is it?
Review: After reading this book for school, (not that I was forced to) I gave it a 4/5 star rating. It was excellent when it came to the setting of the story. Even though it is a very short, it crams alot of suspensfull and interesting moments into 100 some odd pages. This book is quite good and page turning. I highly recommend it to readers who like a mix of reality and fantasy in one. Masterful piece of writing.

Summary: A good collection
Review: Collected works of Jack London have been reprinted in a variety of editions. It is a good collection to add to any library. Jack London (1876-1916) was born John Griffith Chaney to an unwed mother. He is known to have associated with the rougher elements of society and went to Alaska in 1897 in the early stages of the gold rush, returning a year later broke and in ill health. Most of his writing used the Yukon and Alaska as a setting, although some material is undoubtedly drawn from other sources as well. The description of the town used in one of his short stories fits in well with what he would have observed during his stopover in my hometown in Washington State. He is generally regarded as an author/adventurer, and his novels and short stories have endured the test of time, being as popular now as when they were written. Like many artists and writers, his life was somewhat short.
