ghutter05 's review for:
Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod
by Gary Paulsen
I'm wavering between 3.5 and 4 stars. I read this after I read his junior non-fiction book about training the dogs and his first Iditarod run. I enjoyed this one more, mostly because it felt like a more coherent story to me from beginning to end. That being said, I really didn't love the last chapter -- it gave me a whole different feeling about why he wrote the book and how his attitude towards running dogs may have changed.
Still, I'd totally recommend this to anybody interested in wilderness/survival stories in general or the Iditarod in particular. It's fast-paced, has a nice blend of philosophical reflection and real-life storytelling, and can be pretty funny. I think it would appeal to no-nonsense practical people.
