Pretty exciting, but not quite as good as the previous, in my opinion.

Just couldn't get into this one - too Cowboys & Indians for my taste, but I know my boys would love it.

Nothing at all like Old Yeller...

Disney really cleaned up this story for the movie.

This book was riddled with graphic scenes and violent endings. More than once I had to set the book aside and try to get rid of a sick image in my mind. While Savage Sam was an intense and thrilling read that hardly left the reader time to stop and catch their breath, maybe it was a bit too focused on all the raw violence and drama that it lacked the same charm and enchantment that Old Yeller had.

The writing style was down to earth and easy to read. The emotion was believable, realistic and at times pulled at my heartstrings.

A page-turner... I couldn't put it down. As good a story as Old Yeller!

This book has a lot more adventure than Old Yeller and the dog isn't quite as involved. It's a thrilling tale that expands the world of Old Yeller while giving you the feeling that you just never stopped reading that first story. They go hand-in-hand in my mind.
