Editorial Review - Cahners Business Information (c) 2002 Gr 7 Up-This Jack London classic is expertly read by Michael Kramer. His firm, yet gentle voice is a perfect choice for the adventurous biographical story of Buck, a very capable dog working the Alaskan wilderness with his many owners. Reading at a fairly quick pace, Kramer keeps listeners from bogging down in the sad or violent sections.
The novel is primarily one of narration, but Kramer alters his voice for the different accents in the men's speech, especially for the French-Canadian; he changes only slightly for the one woman. London's words alone provide the excitement and suspense because Kramer is able to remain dispassionate and uninvolved. There is emotion there, but it is kept under control. Since the track numbers are provided on the CDs for the beginning of each chapter, teachers have the choice of using only portions of the audiobook in the classroom.-Claudia Moore, W.T.
