I read "Woodsong" by Gary Paulsen. I thought the book was very good, because it was never boring. The author was always on an adventure, whether he was investigating a glowing stump or fighting off a huge bear. The books theme was that you never really realize how much you don't know until it hits you in the face. The author expresses this when he almost kills one of his dogs from his inexperience in dog-sledding, and when he watches a pack of brush wolves kill a deer. He also shows how amazing the outdoors are if people would just stop and pay attention to it.

The main character was Gary Paulsen. Throughout the book he changed so much because of the things that nature and his dogs taught him. He is almost always with his dogs training or trapping, although he does have a wife. He likes to keep to himself and realizes what little he'd have if he didn't have his dogs.

"Woodsong" is broken up into two parts, each with a different setting. The first part of the book is set in Minnesota where the author traps and trains dogs for the Iditarod. The second part of the story the author races the dogs across most of Alaska. The book is not set in a specific time because the author is reminiscing the most fond memories in his life.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Woodsong" because of its fluidity and entertainment value. The book was never boring and was relatively easy to read. The fact that the book is all true makes the read even better. I would give "Woodsong" four out of five stars, and recommend it to anyone who loves nature and wants to hear a true story about a mans courage.
