Biography & Autobiography. Pets. Sports & Recreations. Nonfiction. Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod-the eleven hundred and eighty mile sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness-in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. For seventeen days, he and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations-and the relentless push to go on. Winterdance is the enthralling account of a "stunning wilderness journey of discovery and transformation" (Chicago Tribune), lived and told by "the best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today" (Publishers Weekly).… (más)

This book was a pleasure and I laughed out loud in several spots. I read this years ago.

Ferg.ma | Apr 13, 2024 |

I had no idea as to how fun, emotional, gripping, and adventurous this book would be: I laughed out loud in so many parts; and I found the ending difficult but I totally understand it. I think I would have done the same thing. It would be cruel to keep the dogs and not let them run. I felt the sun on my face and the icy needles on my eyelids (of course reading this while it is 6 degrees outside helped in that regard). The author shared his emotions from rage to gratefulness; his descriptive hallucinations; and bodily sensations. This all resulted in a five-star read for me. I will likely read this book again at some time. (

This book made me laugh and feel like I was travelling, two things I really needed these days! (

Fantastic read. Gary Paulsen tells the story of his dogs and the Iditarod in way that pulls you into his world. He tells it all in a straight forward and sometimes laugh-out-loud way. He lays it all out there; his mishaps, his confusions, his mistakes, his triumphs. Every page turned takes you farther into understanding how he learned his way into the race and trials and tribulations during the race. Winterdance is full of ups and downs and he tells a story that makes you feel all his emotions/challenges, plus funny. It is one of those kind of books that when you come to the last few chapters, a ping of sadness hits because you know the end is near. (

Fascinating first-hand look at running the Iditarod and managing dog-sled racing. The journey starts in Anchorage, AK and finishes in Nome. A bittersweet story of endurance. (
