@@charlie-read-a-book well that's a video that I have planned in the future, but long story short I would recommend Call of the Wild if you like Nature, The Sea Wolf if you like Character studies, The Iron Heel if you like Dystopias and Martin Eden if you like Literary Classics. His short fiction is absolutely brilliant
I felt the same after Burning Daylight moved to Frisco but the whole book serves as a criticism to capitalism and therefore the second part is necessary. As is the love story I would argue. I'm not trying to shit on your review. I just felt that his message made both parts equally important and I enjoyed the second part even more after finishing the book. Towards his end Jack London had very left leaning policies.
Thanks for the comment! You are right in that it is a criticism of capitalism. I just didn't enjoy reading it as much as the man vs nature elements in the Klondike. I love that part of Jack London's writing the most.
@timburbagereads I do agree that this side of his writing is where he shines the most. If I remember correctly he did spend a year up there searching for gold with a cousin of his when he was 21. So he knew what people had to deal with at the Klondike.
Solid review - what WOULD you recommend as a first Jack London book?
