    Good Iditerod story
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024*

Very humorous book on learning how to train, and eventually participate, in the toughest race in the world.Learning by mistakes is putting it mildly. I laughed and almost cried reading it.You will cheer him and the dogs on with every crazy mishap. What courage and determination !

    This Minnesotan is one tough cookie
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2008*

I was hanging around the house with bronchitis when I picked up my daughter's copy of "Winterdance:  the fine madness of running the Iditarod".  What a surprise.  This is a hilarious book by a driven man.  Gary Paulsen and his wife, Ruth, are broke and down on their luck when they move to Northern Minnesota where Gary runs traplines using a dog team and sled.  Eventually, he awakens to the idea of running the Iditarod.  The book covers his experiences training for the race and then the race itself.  His experiences are heart-warming (or perhaps ball-warming as when he sets kitchen matches alight in his pants pocket)and display a determination that's nearly other worldly.  But people aren't the main characters in this book, it's the dogs.  We eat, sleep and run with the dogs.  And it is a learning experience.  Gary Paulsen is one tough cookie who brings to life the hardship, wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dog fights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations, concussions, physical abuse and brutal reality of the Iditarod.  And gives us more:  the magnificent beauty of Alaska and the strange, deep relationship that develops between dog and man.  This is one of the best outdoor adventure books I've read (and there have been many).  I highly recommend it.

    Gary Paulsen doesn’t disappoint!
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2024*

Bought this for my son, he is a great fan of Gary Paulsen books.. This story highlights the events of the Iditarod race in the cold north. These teams of dogs are amazing. They’re willing to endure a snowstorm that surrounds them. They push on even with frostbite and moose attacks. This book has dog attacks and sleeplessness and hallucinations. And yet still the dogs push on and on. We really really liked the color Photographs and map that helped us understand what was happening .
