5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!!, April 29, 2001

Dave (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Valley of the Moon (California Fiction) (Paperback)

I read this book after biking through a lot of the California towns London mentions. I pedaled through Glen Ellen and saw some of the missions. Since I am male, I could relate to the character of Billy. He is an early 20th century renaissance man. I never got bored with this book. It has a lot of personal meaning to me. I come from some of the "old stock" Billy and Saxon refer to. Tons of detail. I had to read it twice to get all the details. If you like northern California and want to know what it was like 100 years ago, read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Testament of Love, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Valley of the Moon (Paperback)

As in many of his books, Jack London enraptes the reader, but this time in a story of love. It is extremely refreshing because it shows the good side of true love without that sickening sweetness so many love stories have... I read this book a few years back and read it again just recently. I am SIXTEEN. This book is definetly one that many can enjoy, no matter your age.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING!, January 13, 1999

mbystrytsky@hotmail.com (Kyiv, Ukraine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Valley of the Moon (Paperback)

This book is a reprint of the 1913 edition published by Cosmopolitan Magazine. IT IS NOT A COMPLETE VERSION. Some parts, I think the most typical for Jack London, are absent. (For example sport games and fighting in Weasel Park, Chapter IV, are not present in this edition.)

I think the version can be used to comparative analysis by specialists in history of literature but if you want to take pleasure in reading I strongly recommend you to purchase another edition.
