"I didn't finish this book. There were things in the first chapter that just turned me off. And I am so old now that I don't have to finish books if I don't want to. Anyway, I think the whole story is irresponsible."
"North took a long time to take hold of my emotions. The story is almost completely irrelevant to me and my life. Not until Alvin met Idlouk did I really care about what was happening. I understand that the perils and hardships of such a long journey take up a lot of pages, but there was too much time spent on nonsense. The book's true heart was not revealed until the last quarter, and it could have been introduced much earlier, had Alvin discovered it himself. Discovery is the theme of the book, and it does leave the reader satisfied in the end. The cover is misleading however: this is no White Fang. All in all, I enjoyed my experience reading this story, but three stars is very generous."
