Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-01 00:00:00 Tim Hawes Awesome collection of short stories by Jack London!!! Quite the best I've read for years.. Jack London is of course a trade name for adventure, Alaska, Indians, the Yukon river.. Not only his novels are superb, but also his short stories manage to cringe under your skin and make you shiver and think!! The only thing I felt saddened about was as this marvelous collection of short stories came to an end.. It hurt my heart to have finished it, I did enjoy it so very much.. I cannot pick any of the short stories and label it as my favorite one, because all the stories in this collection are indeed awesome, wonderful and amazing!! If you are lucky enough to dare reading this collection of short stories, here comes my advice to you: Put on your mittens and keep warm, but most of all don't let important appointments require your attention, because you will missed them!!! Happy readings Dean;)

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-05 00:00:00 John Alexander If your life needs more old-timey racism and sexism, you should definitely read this book. I tried, I really did. But it was so, so painful. (Which is exactly why I don't read books more than 100 years old, bingo square chooser.) Illustrative sentence from the point at which I finally gave up (p 140/279): "But she, like the women of all her race, was born to obey the will masculine, and when Hitchcock repeated 'Go!' he did it with authority, and though she made no answer he knew that his will was law." Ugh.
