White Fang

Entertaining, and gripping. Those two words describe this book for me. It isn't complex, in any way - but neither is any of the content dumbed down. I was surprised to learn that this book was published more than a hundred years ago - the writing felt surprisingly modern, well, except for some rare (glaring) oddities.

By the way, Goodreads' blurb for this book is misleading. It traces the entire life of our hero White Fang, and the nice prospector enters the story only towards the end.

Oh, and it has a perfectly happy ending. So yay for that!
