I HATE this book i read it last year and really didi not like it. It is boring and predictible. I like books to have substance and a plot! Seriously people write better books!!!

That being said, the Chucky series was actually enjoyable and this was just a bunch of creepy trash. I had to read Call Of The Wild a few months ago for English (I'm in 8th grade). I consider myself a pretty tough girl-- I do martial arts, I'm a horror movie fan. Yet this book made me want to throw up: I literally felt queasy reading it. This book doesn't carry any positive message, it instead glorifies the bloodshed and brutality of the wild. A dog dies in almost every chapter, the owners are abusive (except for John Thornton, who becomes a friend of the dogs, but of course he dies towards the end of the book). If you don't have to read this in school, consider yourself lucky. It's a disturbing book that should be avoided-- ESPECIALLY if you love animals, like me.

This is a great book. I cannot believe Common Sense Media is actually that strict. I read the adapted and condensed version by Dalmatian Press. It was wonderful! It is sad, but the ending is great! I recommend this to all ages as long as they are mature enough to handle the violence in this book. There isn't that much violence, but it could be scary for young readers.

I think that this book would be a good read for children over the age of 13. However, I find the violence to be inappropriate for younger children...

it has a moral lesson . that even though we are apart of our own family we still find a way to be with them again .

I am reading this book for English Class, and I read up to chapter 3. Here's my analysis. There is lots of violence in it. There was lots of blood and killing in the book. I noticed the d-word and the h-word in this book too. I think this book has lots of violence and should be avoided by 10-year olds and younger.
