Summary: WOODSONG
Review: This is a book with a lot of excitement. "My day is filled with excitement as I whip through the turns and moving constantly moving up and down the un- touched hills". In this book he is constantly moving. There is never a time where he is just sitting around. He is always doing something with the dogs or working on the sled or the dogs and even on himself. "As the dogs and I move up the hill with such rage I had to stop and give the dog's some meat and repair the front left ski from hitting something hard and large". He is also always getting injured and cut up. It is very common for him to fall off a sled going 30 miles per hour. If you like those kinds of topics, then I would highly recommend this as your next book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Woodsong
Review: Gary Paulsen uses strong language to give the reader vivid images. He makes simple sentences to make it easier to understand. Gary Paulsen learns many lessons in this book and you would too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Book That Changed My Life
Review: A most amazing book about a man and his dogs. There are many animal stories in publication but none compare to this heartwrenching and truthful as this one. I used to think James Hariott was amazing but not even he compares to this. Anyone who loves animals should read this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It a cold one!
Review: Gary Paulsen has a dogsled race in Alaska. His dogs are interesting and smart too on this trip. Gary has lost a few friends and items and it is amazing. Let me give you a hint about the book, Gary's favorite dog is Storm.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: bloody, boring, somewhat repetive, and repulsive.
Review: Woodsong is one of many boring books by Gary Paulson. I was forced to read it in 6th grade and I thought it was total (...)! It is about the time when Gary Paulson was a dog racer. It starts out with Gary explaining how he got something out of watching a poor Doe being devoured by wolves (horrible part of the book.) The rest of the book he tells how he learns things from his sled dogs. It's so stupid to learn about his dogs personality. Frankly I don't care. He also thinks he sees an alien at one point.

If all Gary Paulson can do is just write books that repeat words over and over again, I suggest that he stop writing his [...] books and go play with his dogs. Unfortunatly, that won't happen, because all of his books have a pretentious spirit in them that somehow draws the viewers into trance. Last of all, I would suggest reading good books like THE GOLDEN COMPASS or any of the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy. PEACE OUT

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wolf Attack
Review: This is a great story written by a great author. This story really captures the true pagentry of the great outdoors. This book is extremely entertaining! Once you've read this book, you'll want to read it over and over again. It's the story of a man and his dog team; who go to Alaska to compete in the biggest dog race of the year. They have to work as a team to overcome the obstacles of the harsh environment in Alaska. This story has terrific plot elements. If you have a chance to read this story, you should definitely seize the opportunity. You don't want to miss out on this one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: Woodsong is an autobiography of Gary Paulsen's life in Minnesota and in a dog-sled race in Alaska. Gary trained dogs to trap and to race. He had many adventures with his dogs. He starts off by trapping in Minnesota with his dogs. After an encounter with the death of a deer that got chased down by wolves, he decides trapping is cruel and he will not trap anymore. He enters a race in Alaska called the Iditarod. It is a long cold race across Alaska. He trains his dogs by running in Minnesota. In the race he encounters many obstacles; running in -20 degree weather, falling down a 30 foot frozen waterfall, bears eating his food and long runs through mountain passes. In the end of the book Gary finishes the race. Although not in first, he learns great lessons of life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Woodsong is great
Review: I love this book Woodsong because it keeps you on your toes throughout the whole book. The Idiotorod where he doesn't win but you feel just as good inside. I gave this book 5 stars because he does a great job of describing every little thing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Woodsong is the greatest book yet!
Review: I liked the parts when he talked about his dogs and raced in the Iditarod. I loved how he told the truth about what really happened in his life. My favorite part was when he described what he saw on the race. Some parts were adventurous, some were funny, and some were sad. It's the best true book I ever read.
