Summary: Read in Class
Review: If you are interested in reading this book I would suggest that you do. It's very fun and interesting. Even though there are sad and horrible things going on it's still one that should be read. You'll learn how much the author, Gary Paulsen, loves his dogs and how much they love him. You'll learn about Storm, his wild care-free dog who just loves to play tricks on people and have a good time. But in the end of Storm's life, you'll learn how much he truly loved Gary and what he did when he died. Gary tells about the experiences in the Iditarod and how you should prepare yourself. (Written by a student for a 9th grade English class.)

Summary: For those who have ever loved dogs!
Review: This is a classic tale for anyone who has ever loved dogs, or, to be more specific, any particular dog. I can say that this is also an icy tale that will actually take your breath away as Paulsen describes some of the conditions he's been in with his sled dogs. This is the true story of how he survives in the Minnesota wilderness, and then takes on the bigtime, The Iditarod in Alaska! When you read this, there are times when you will probably feel different things. Like the feeling some people have had (I have personally) of losing a pet. Or at times, you laugh at the hilarity of some of the things that pets will indeed do that leave you laughing so hard that it almost brings you to tears. Paulsen brings this to life only in the way that he has always used to tell a story. I love it how he describes his, and every man's greatest fear when in The Iditarod, is to scratch. When Paulsen describes this, he compares it to being a leper! He loves his dogs, and talks about how they are practically insane to run. He slightly haunts us with stories of hallucinations as a result of sleep deprivation! Yet, he also describes his most human side throughout the race, describing a cup of hot chocolate given to him by a beautiful blonde. Or how children from the Shageluk school made a pot of Moose chili especially for the mushers, and how he ate 19 bowls because it tasted so great, and then suffered the wonderful indigestion as a result. It is those stories and more, that make this an easy classic, and a read that you find hard to put down! I first read this about 10 years ago. It still is easy to pick up, and enjoy it from page 1. Awesome work!

Summary: Woodsong Book Review
Review: What an inspiring book Woodsong was. This book left me on the edge of my seat. Gary Paulsen takes you along the journey through the Iditarod dog sled race in Alaska. This book has so much to offer, from the frozen waterfall to the lead dog Cookie leading the team off the cliff. Gary Paulsen proved to be a strong individual while taking on the task of leading his dogsled team through Alaska. At times he wanted to give up, but he remained determined and stayed true to himself. While reading this book you will feel as though you are in the Alaskan wilderness with Gary. Although a bit bloody and gruesome at times, the book proved to be an excellent choice. The plot structure was a little slow and skipped around, which made it hard to follow at times. People who read this book will find it to be a compelling story that will inspire them in the future. Woodsong is a great book for all people to read. If you are ready for adventure and suspense then you should read Woodsong. This book is a quintessential look into a man's trials and tribulations and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
