To Build a Fire by Jack London
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Frightening.
You wouldn’t expect a short story thriller about man versus nature to be scary, yet Jack London implemented the fear factor perfectly. I’m impressed with the vivid descriptions and imagery that Jack London could show in this tale. It felt like I was in the Yukon with the man and wolf-dog. Expertly written and memorable. I feel inspired!
I highly recommend To Build a Fire and would re-read it. My reading engagement was high throughout the story, and I’m shocked I didn’t read this sooner. The foreshadowing is superb. I am interested in reading more novels by Jack London.
