5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Biographies Ever Written, November 28, 2000

This review is from: Irving Stone's Jack London: His Life, Sailor on Horseback (A Biography) and Twenty-Eight Selected Jack London Stories (Hardcover)

It took me some time to track down this book, but I had heard that it was the best Jack London biography out there, and it is that and a whole lot more. Irving Stone writes a very easily readable book in which he takes a deep look at the life and character of an amazing man. I read it once in a night, I'm reading it again, and don't think it'll ever make it back to the bookcase for more than a week!
