I do not understand how this book is beloved. Am I missing something? It's full of racist, violent content that serves no other purpose than to say "the dog turned to its wolf roots". Cool? What's the comment on it, why should we care? It's boring but skimmable and I only bothered finishing it because it was short, hoping that I'd discover some profound idea hidden in the nonsense. I did not. I actively did not like this book, not even the writing could make up for it. Not worth the time to read.

I enjoyed the read. It was interesting, and the characters were distinct. Buck's character development and voice are unusual and compelling. It has flaws, but overall my experience was positive.
