Great Adventure Story,
By mikey g "mikey" (Richmond, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baree, the Story of a Wolf-Dog (Paperback)
This is the story of a wolf/dog named Baree. Soon after he is born, he is separated from his "parents". Baree then begins the quest of having to survive on his own in the harsh envirionment of the Canadian wilderness. As Baree grows older, he has encounters with a near sighted owl, he befriends a bear,and tries to make friends with a colony of beavers. Then Baree comes up against his most perplexing animal,.....Man! Baree quickly wants the companionship that Willow(a beautiful young woman) offers. He follows her everywhere and has a strong bond with her that cannot be broken. He will do anything to protect her, and that includes keeping her safe from her family's enemy, a evil man called the Factor of Lac Bain.The writer of this book expertly describes the feelings and thoughts going through the mind of the young Baree, and through out the book, we root for him all through hisd triumphs and tradigies. The wilderness is described beautifully and also becomes a "character" of the story as well. This book is well written, easy to read , and holds the readers interest all the way till the satisfying conclusion.

This book was beautifully written.,

This review is from: Baree: The Story of a Wolf-Dog (Paperback)
I thought this book was wonderful. It should be up there with the best of them, like Jack London's "Call of the Wild". It tells the story of a wolf cub seperated from its mother, and the adventures in the wilderness it encounters. It has very descriptive details and shows us all the true meaning of love and devotion.

A Wildlife Adventure,
By Merrie (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baree (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (School & Library Binding)
This book is fantastic!It follows the story of a young half wolf, half dog pup who is accidentally seperated from his mother. He learns to survive in the harsh Canadian wilderness and meets friends and foe. He eventually comes to trust humans. The author obviously has a great understanding of animals as he explains in words exactly what the animals feel. The way this book is written is almost unexplainable-right up there with other fine authors such as Jack London. A must-read for any one who loves animals or has an understanding for them!

This review is from: Baree: The Story of a Wolf-Dog (Medallion Editions for Young Readers) (Kindle Edition)
I read the book online on a website that has free ebooks. Sad things happen during the course of the story, but the ending of the book is happy one. The story was excellent!

A Great-Great-Uncle,
By
This review is from: Baree: The Story of a Wolf-Dog (Paperback)
Last night I uncovered a family legend and found that James Oliver Curwood is my Great, Great Uncle; and a direct uncle to Marguerite Gaylord Tate the author of Twelve Walked Away, a true story about her and her son, my grandfather, crashing the Alps due to a navigation mistake after WW II. I know it seems far and almost unbelievable that I just now find this amazing discovery, but it is true.I stayed up until eleven o'clock reading into one of his books, and I found it well written and full of wisdom. |
