:- 1.0 out of 5 stars from BMom -- Cheaply bound, hard-to-read copy : Amazon seems to be lumping all different editions together in the reviews so it is impossible to know which edition you are reading about. Had it been clear that THIS printing was awful, i would not have purchased it. This has a brown cover with a picture of London on it. It was about $3. I received it today, and it is obviously a cheap home print job--thin, barely laminated cover, weird size (about 6x8"), very thin (entire book crammed into 45 pages). I bought it for first of three kids to read for school; this is not something I want to keep on my bookshelves for a while. It's a classic; I want a halfway decent copy. Child will continue to read it on free Kindle edition for now, and I'm ordering a new copy from a "known" publisher. Don't buy this one-- ( Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2018 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Rachael -- Don't buy!!!! : Beware...bought this because my 6th grader has to read it for school, thought he would enjoy an illustrated version. The issues...this book looks home made and for some strange reason the illustrations are all photos of artwork of naked ladies...not pictures from the story about DOGS!!!! The font for the story is literally all different sizes and and the layout is crazy. Really really surprised and disappointed! ( Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from DJ from Kansas -- Must be a re-translation, impossible to read, not true to text : I bought this edition to supplant my old print version, intent to read CotW with my son. However, in reading this digital version, it was immediately obvious this isn't a proper version of London's work. I have come to suspect this particular digital version was re-translated back to English by a non-English speaker from some foreign language. The language is garbled, such it is no longer true to the original writing by London, and much of it is unintelligible gibberish. There's clearly incorrect usage of tense and conjugation, and the broken grammar destroys what should be a beautiful coming of age story. I read only the first few lines to my son before realizing this translation, but I read further through the book against my old print version and a new paperback version - it's very clearly not representative of London's words, and the broken language ruins any opportunity to understand the story.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from DNA -- A dog's tale that is riveting : Beautiful story of a dog, Buck, who is a St. Bernard from his father's side a sheep dog from his mother's. Throughout the story Buck proves that he is a dog like no other. His grit and tenacity see him sail through the worst treatment that can be wrought by man on animal. (Warning:If you have a pet or if you are an animal lover it might prove extremely challenging to sail through many parts of the book). Just when Buck finally finds a master who he dearly loves and is loved, he hears a call, the 'call of the wild'. He knows that he cannot ignore the call.

- 1.0 out of 5 stars from James -- DO NOT PURCHASE! : Terrible. This edition isn't the original book. The sentences don't even make sense! It's as if someone used Google translate 20 different times to translate the original text into different languages and then translated it back into English. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from EG -- !!Please try a sample first!! : Bought on kindle for about £3.40 without trying a sample. While a genuine copy is a wonderful book the version i bought seemed to have been translated back into English from a foreign language and was basically unreadable. I tried a sample of another and bought it for 99p and it was perfect. In future i wil always try a sample first to check for this type of thing. Surprised Amazon allow this and will contact them.

- 1.0 out of 5 stars from sarajay -- Kindle edition - rubbish! Do NOT buy! : This is so difficult to read! It seems as if it is has been translated from English into Japanese or something, and then back again! I am sure this is not how Jack London penned it! I am just abut getting the gist of the story, but it is not enjoyable. Very, very disappointed. Am going to find out if a kindle book can be returned. Do they not have any copy readers?

- 1.0 out of 5 stars from PAUL DAINTON -- Beware! (unless you're "Yoda") : Jack London's tale is well known, and well crafted. HOWEVER, the original text style is akin to the tale being told by Yoda, or having been translated electronically into English without proof-reading the result (adjectives, verbs, nouns are frequently misplaced, mis-ordered 'inversions, and it is very hard work! This should have been forewarned before purchase. Most current hard-cover or paperback versions (in good bookshops) are as those 'edited' into modern English soon after it was first published. This single factor is enough to change what should be a powerfully-good read into a sad disappointment. Shame on you, Amazon! You need to pay more attention to detail. For example: in the context of an incident on a river the term "financial Institution" is used instead of 'bank'. This is a bad joke AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Pirie Reads -- The Call of The Wild by Jack London : An amazing adventure story about a dog called Buck. Buck goes through hell in this book as a man takes him from his home and sells him to become a sled dog. He is a tough one though and never gives up on life. He takes on every challenge with amazing spirit and strength. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Martin Jones -- Lessons in survival : This elemental story imagines a dog plucked from an indolent early life as a household pet, to become part of a sledge team working in the harsh world of the Yukon during the Klondike gold rush. Struggling to survive, the former domesticated animal begins to regress through past generations to its wolf forebears. The story itself makes a similar journey back into the history, taking the form of the archetypal myth of the hero, where a youngster leaves the comfort of home and heads into the unknown. Writers such as Christopher Vogler suggest that such a story evolved back in the early history of humanity, as a teaching tool to prepare the young to go out beyond the tribe's home territory into a hostile world. In both subject and form, The Call of the Wild reaches back to the time when dog and man first came together, when they were rather similar, hairy creatures struggling for survival. This makes sense of the humanisation of the dog, even though its animal character is closely observed. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2017 )
