- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The cover on my original edition copy implied this would be a story about a young man and his dog, so I was surprised to find it was a collection of short stories, loosely connected, about whites during the Alaskan gold rush. Not appropriate for children, it depicts all the vices one might imagine at such a frontier. The historic, sexist view of women is quite noticeable.London is a good writer, but this is not a book I care to own.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5one can tell these stories were individually written for magazines before put together for this collection. Probably the easiest way to tell is, although they all involve the same characters and the same places, the mood of the writer is disjointed. There are some good pieces here, but the meloncholy mood of two of the pieces offsets enjoyment of the whole. still, if you are a London fan, this collection is a must. If you just luke-warm on his work, skip it.
