Rating: Summary: Breathtaking and exciting Review: This story is about Gary Paulsen (the author) and his sled dogs. He tells how he learns (from nature and his sled dogs) what and what not to do, while he gets ready for his worst challenge yet.....
Rating: Summary: A moving story of great adventure and humor Review: This truly is a wonderful story, but I'd like to interject a word of caution. The author has taken an certain amount of artistic license to enhance his 'nonfiction autobiography,' so you might want to research your facts before you start going around and impressing your friends with them. ;)
Rating: Summary: The best book I ever read out of allot of books. Review: I loved this book it was one of my favorite books that I have ever read in my life it was full of action and at the beginning it starts as the man has a trapline and he tells us about it and how he got a sled and sled dogs. At the beginning he gets hurt severly or very baddly I think I'll wait untill you read this totally awesome book before I go giving off all the information.

Rating: Summary: An intense, action-packed, and touching story. Review: I thoroughly enjoy reading Woodsong with my class every year. Gary Paulsen really does use wonderful imagery! This story has it all! Action-Witnessing nature and what REALLY occurs. (Wolf attacks, Bear attacks, blizzards, etc...) Heart Touching-Storm almost brings me to tears. We really are animals of the forest and we know nothing,and Paulsen lets us know it with vivid events.
Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK!! Review: This is a great book! I read it this summer. I really like Gary Paulsen in that he writes survival stories. I perticularly like his nature stories. I would recommend anyone to read this book!!
Rating: Summary: A good book for the adventerous kind Review: I think this was a wonderful book. When I read with my book group we always had questions. I would give Gary Paulson two thumbs up. There was always somthing exciting going on. When he told the story you could feel what he was going through the situation, how he felt about entering the biggest and longest dog sled race in the world. I recomend this to anyone who likes a good adventure book. This book is definitely worth reading.
Rating: Summary: Very interesting Book! Review: I really liked this book because the way he expressed his feelings made it seem completely real, and like it was happening to me. It shows how dogs are truly loyal to a person when they really need them. It also shows how hallucinations can seem so real, yet are just a trick being played on your mind. I like Gary Paulsen's writing very much because he puts a lot of feeling into his works, and he proves that dogs are really more loyal than you think. I would recommend any of his books to anyone who was looking for a good outstanding, informational, extremely interesting book.
Rating: Summary: Great survival story. Review: Gary Paulsen is wonderful. I love books on dogsledding, and this is one of my favorites. An action-packed race to the finish, in an ultimate book, by an excellant author. What more could anybody want
Rating: Summary: Woodsong Review: Woodsong is a great book, for children or adults alike.
I would highly recomend it to anyone who loves dogs, Gary Paulsen does a great job of showing just how wonderful they
can be. You will find yourself really getting into the characters of Storm, Cookie, and all the others. I would not, however, use this book as education for children, beacuse some of it is misleading. There is no such thing as a "bush wolf", the animals making the kill that Paulsen writes about so vividly are in fact coyotes, not wolves, and such things can mislead children. Otherwise Woodsong is a great read, based on real and amazing occurences.
