      Few books have made me teary eyed, and they are always about animals. Great book, lots of dealing and lessons to learn. I will hear it again soon.
    • 4/5
      The author has written an autobiographical look at sled dogs, sledding, and the wilderness he personally discovers while training for the Iditarod. The first half of the book is about the dogs, and his interaction with the wilds while training, the second half is a journal of his attempt to win that famous race. Full of the usual humor and pathos we expect, it's a good read for a fan of Gary Paulsen, or any nature lover for that matter. Recommended.
    • 5/5
      For young-adults or the adventurous of heart. Follow Gary Paulsen's dog sledding adventures around Alaska and through the Iditarod as he explains his dogs' personalities. One of my favorite books as a child and still to this day. Pure, adventurous, engaging, and authentic!
    • 5/5
      This book was a very good book. I liked how the second part of the book was just on the Iditarod race in Alaska. The only thing that I didn't like in this book was that some of the parts in the book were very gruesome.
    • 5/5
      This is one of the best books I know of. I definitely recommend this!!
    • 5/5
      A very heartwarming book about a man who lives his dogs. The plot was hard to follow. It was more of a guys book but i still enjoy stories about dogs.
    • 1/5
      Fun nature book:) yet wierd:/
    • 1/5
      I did not like this book. It was very boring and not fun to read.
    • 4/5
      good book but its not the best book i ever read but still good
    • 1/5
      it is fine but getting into it gets boring
    • 3/5
      Good story. Cool characters (dogs) amazing detain and well written.
    • 5/5
      Woodsong is a book about Gary. the author, and what he goes through in his first time ever running the Iditorod Race in Alaska. I thought the book was great.
    • 1/5
      Very slow i did not like it. I did not find it interesting because i didn't really know what the ididarod is.
    • 5/5
      This book is about the author Gary Paulsen when he lived in poverty. He raised a dog sled team and he has adventures with them in the wild.
    • 3/5
      I loved this book as a child and read my copy nearly to death! Make sure not to see this as a book only for little boys. Girls can enjoy it just as much, and to say otherwise means you are a jerk.
    • 5/5
      Gary Paulson, has learned a lot from his dogs and shares his wisdom to us. At he great race, he learns from wxperience and manages to finsh the race.
    • 3/5
      Kids will love this book based on Gary Paulsen's experience running the Iditarod. The book moves at a fast pace and is quite exciting. This is a great reluctant reader book, terrific for boys.
