I had never read this classic tale. I had only seen the old black and white Clark Gable movie. When I happened upon the audio book, I picked it up because I was both surprised and curious at its length. It is only 2.5 hours unabridged. I thought it would have been longer. I know every novel goes through a good or bad transformation when it becomes a movie. Things tend to unexpectedly change when a book becomes a movie.and this book was no exception. I did enjoy the Clark Gable movie from long ago, but I also really enjoyed the original written words of Jack London.
I also enjoyed the narration of Bill Lord. He does a great job with the material. The bottom line is this is a great classic. If you are in the mood for an audio version of a great classic, you can’t go wrong with “The Call Of The Wild.”
Finally, this audio book was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Blast.
