5.0 out of 5 stars little known MUST, December 24, 1999

By 

C. L. Douglas (East Bay California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Smoke Bellew (Dover Books on Literature and Drama) (Paperback)

This book was given to me as a child. I always thought it was one of the funniest books I'd ever had. I especially loved the chapter: A Corner on Eggs. Somewhere in growing up I lost the book. I wanted to share it with my children, then my grandchildren, but I never could find it again - even in editions perporting to be complete compilations of Jack London's work. To my amazement, here it is suddenly one click away at Amazon. I'm beyond thrilled. The book has everything: Comedy, adventure in Yukon Territory, excitment of the gold rush days, and great characters. Rediscover, or discover a little known London work that is worth the wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars SMOKE BELLEW, May 25, 2000

This review is from: Smoke Bellew (Dover Books on Literature and Drama) (Paperback)

I thought this book was encouraging, adventurous, and well done. I felt sad, betrayed, upset, and happy throughout the whole book. It was a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for your library, July 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Smoke Bellew (Dover Books on Literature and Drama) (Paperback)

I've had this book in my personal library for years and have read it over and over. It has everything - a little drama, some comedy, lots of nature, a variety of interesting characters. I'm always disappointed when I get to the last page because I want it to go much longer.
