The Call of the Wild takes the listener on an epic adventure during the Klondike Gold Rush during the 1890s. Buck, a four-year-old St. Bernard and Scotch sheppard crossbreed, is a dog born to luxury and raised in a sheltered Californian home.

Bill Lord does an excellent job in the narration of Jack London's story. His narration brings to life the tour de force that is Jack London's story telling and writing, and carries the listener along effortlessly through Buck's harrowing adventures.

Story3 out of 5 stars 9
You are the newest resident at the Mary Stuart Riley Home for People of Advanced Years, affectionately nicknamed the Last Stop by its residents. If you were thinking about quietly entering your twilight years, think again. And if you try slipping peacefully into the hereafter, your fellow white-hairs will pull you back by your ankles, all the while chanting something indecipherable but that can only mean life! No one ever dies at the Last Stop; they just decide to move on.

A 4.5 Out of a Possible 5
Reviewed: 05-02-15
Having read the paperback, the audio version truly gives life to the happenings at the Mary Stuart Riley Home for People of Advanced Years. Rozanne Devine's narration of the book is excellent.
This is a laugh-out-loud book that provides very funny glimpses of the daily happenings in a home for persons of advanced years. The residents and the staff are quirky and capable of outlandish behavior. The canine, Holy Moses, is a significant nuisance in terms of his bodily functions, but he makes the home a stimulating and interesting place for staff and residents. I particularly liked the Epigraph with its warning "No old fogies allowed!" and its description of the Grim Reaper as a freeloader at the buffet table with a foam bat.
I highly recommend this book for people who enjoy outlandish humor and the spoken word.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 11
There are two activities in life that are essential to one's happiness. The first is to have one's day (to explore, engage, and enjoy life), and the second is to say one's say (to say the words to oneself and/or others that are worth saying). An Uncommon Vocabulary is an exercise in saying one's say. Simply put it is an A-to-Z book of common words and phrases that are described in ways better suited to them, in the opinion of the author.
