      Synopsis

      Paulsen and his team of dogs endured snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, and hallucinations in the relentless push to go on. Map and color photographs.

      Annotation

      In the tradition of Jack London, Gary Paulsen presents an unforgettable account of his participation in the 1,100-mile-long dogsled race called the "Iditarod." For 17 days, Paulsen and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, moose attacks, and more--yet relentlessly pushed on to the end. "The best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today."--Publishers Weekly.

      November 19, 2009: I laughed, cried, and wondered with awe as I read this book. Buy it. Read it. Now. Only problem is I keep giving away copies to friends (who also fall in love with it). Then I have to resupply. Maybe I should buy in bulk.

      November 17, 2009: this is a humorous read for anyone, but if you are thinking of teaching your dog to sled or cart you really should read this book. Paulsen gives a good acct of what its like to teach dogs ... from the beginning of the lifestyle to the ultimate challenge of running that Last Great Race - the Iditirod@ Even if this is a sport you aren't sure you're interested in, you will really appreciate the non-shellaced look at running dogs ... and all that can go wrong (foxes come to mind ... giggling just thinking of that part).
