5.0 out of 5 stars A story about Grit, 2 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book was hard to put down. Every time I started to read, I wanted to know what happened next. Every chapter was a new adventure for Brian O'Donoghue. I have a deep respect for what he did. I can only imagine how it was attempting to finish the "Last Great Race", the Iditarod. This is a TRUE story about determination and strong will power to accomplish one thing, finish the Iditarod.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frank Discussion of Other Mushers Adds to Realism of Book.., 13 Jun 1996
By A Customer
I ordered this book based on rave reviews of others. Initially, the shift in time from one scene to another is confusing, but once the reader gets used to the format, the book is engrossing. Having also read Winterdance, by Gary Paulsen, I was prepared for the descriptions of the grueling test the mushers and dogs face. What was great about THIS book is the realism of the event and especially the character sketches of "name" mushers. The other mushers in the race are far more than just names, they are real people, acting in the "sometimes great, sometimes evil, sometimes stupid, sometimes humane" way that real people do. In addition, because the book spends a lot of time "in the back" of the race, you understand that the Iditarod tests ALL the mushers, not just the winners.

2.0 out of 5 stars My lead dog was a lesbian., 30 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Having read Winter Dance first which I have read several times already I was really looking forward to reading this book about the 'The Last Great Race' the Iditarod. I found this a slow read due to the fact that the author has also been a reporter and I personally thought that he was writing it like that whereby one minute he was on about himself and his dog team and the next he would go off on a complete tangent either about his past or what was happening to others on the race.

Having said this it did get better towards the end of the book when he concentrated on the last 11 teams who stuck together towards the end of the race telling you about the trials they were going through with the weather conditions they had to endure aswell as the dogs being exhausted.

The other saving grace that I found interesting was the author put in race posistions and time finished of those who took part in the race at the back of the book along with 1st and last place people and timings over the years so that sets your imagination going thinking about how technology has helped the sport plus thinking about the weathers conditions when comparing timings etc.
This is my verdict on this book others have obviously liked it and would argue the fact, but I would recommend Winter Dance and not this book.
