Winterdance

The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod

De: Gary Paulsen

Narrado por: Danny Campbell

Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod - the 1,180-mile sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness - in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. For 17 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).

Vivid and entertaining story

Wonderful story and the narrator did a great job bringing it to life. Would recommend for all ages.

A great story of courage and love

I read Winterdance decades ago. Listening to the story brought back to me why I had loved the book so much. Gary ran the Iditarod out of love, not to make money. The modern race includes some very unfortunate stories of abuse to the magnificent animals who run the race. Gary's story is one of respect and caring for his dogs. He is an amazing writer. Narration was excellent. I highly recommend this book!

love it

If you love dogs and the wild and crazy running of the Iditarod you will love this book. The lead dog is amazing and the pulling power of the dog team is unbelievable. These dogs are so adapted to the climate that even subzero weather doesn't faze them. There are so many dangers and wild times.

great book

Great read.... didn't know how intense the Iditarod was. would definitely read again... thank you

Love it!

I loved the narration. I have read the book, but it has been a long time. Makes you laugh, cry and even think about life.
Fabulous.
