My Opinion of the Book

June 12, 2010
Gary Paulsen's DOGSONG was a very good and interesting book even for someone who is not Eskimo you begin to associate yourself to the character and the can relate to him in some ways and other than the description is astronomically good and really brings you into the book and the setting of the book. I liked this book but it was very sad in lots of parts for the loss of life both human and animal. Regardless I would give Gary Paulsen's DOGSONG a seven and half out of ten and would recommend reading it as long as you don’t have to do a growling write on reading book report on it that takes up your life especially your weekends.
