2.0 out of 5 stars Ughh, November 12, 2002

Lauren Adasiak Cocilova "elexina" (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sea-Wolf and Other Stories (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)

Let me say that again: ughh.
A good book, all told, but exceedingly dull and almost impossible to get through. Apparently, Jack London's writing style does not suit me.
