Wonderful book. Couldn't put it down! Having seen the film a number of times, I could not help but picture the great Edward G. Robinson as Wolf Larsen while reading the novel. It fleshed out Larsen's character as would any book do to a movie's role, so the picture of Robinson in my head was even more realistic & powerful.
Great study in contrast of two very intelligent men with completely different views on life & how people should be treated.
A true classic that should be read by everyone!
