I bought this book for my son who had trouble reading. We set out to listen to it on a long trip. We loved it, both of us. In fact, it spurred us on to buying more audio books, especially by Gary Paulsen. Later, we took it on another long trip and had the whole family listen. Great job Gary. We have now finished the Audio book, HATCHET and are about to start the RIVER.

This was a very enjoyible book about gary paulson and his dogs but it suffers from a few problems. the first ploblem is that it is too short, i went through the book in a few hours. that may not actully be a bad thing if you are looking for an easy read. The biggining starts with a scene of killing and gore but don't be discouraged it gets better. therefore i don't think this is a must read but if you are looking for a enjoyible adventure (or just a book about the iditorod) then this is your book.

What is wrong with these kid reviewers? I admit, I've never been really fond of Gary Paulsen's books, but i was pleasantly surprised. Seriously, every kid reviewer who hated this book should go out and get a life! Very well written book.

Gary Paulsen. "Paulsen is the best man-against-nature adventures writing today" according to Publisher Weekly. He lives with his wife Ruth in Minnesota. In "Wood Song" Gary talks about his like in the woods with his dogs. The book is about how unforgiving the wild can be and how he had to learn to deal with death in a hole new way. In just the first few chapters he talks about how on one of his first runs with a sled team he encounters a pack of wolfs chasing a deer. Also he learns that he knows very little about running a dog sled team in the begging, but once he starts running with the team more and more he starts to understand them and why they like to run. The book talks about how close Gary gets to his first led dog Storm. The book then talks about when he ran the Iditarod in Alaska. How he had to survive against the elements with only his dogs as company. In the book Gary talks about where he has been and what he has done.
Basically the book is all about action and adventure. Which is why I like Gary's books so much. One of the reasons I like his books so much is because there is not that many dry spots in the book. There isn't any really low parts, there is always something going on in the story. The great thing is that he makes you feel like you are right where he is.
I think that if you enjoy the wilderness then you will love this book or any of Gary Paulsen's books.

I really enjoyed this book because it talks alot about his life. The book is a little gorey in the first few chapters but it really talks about Gary Paulsen's life. Some quotes that I thought that were meaningful were the parts where he talked about The Doe, I thought that part was interesting to me becuase it talked about life or death which was always a mystery to me.
My favorite theme from the book is the sense of survival. I think this was a good book overall but for some people it is a little to adavanced. If you're a young adult and would like to know about Gary Paulsen I would highly recommend this book.
