"In advance, I’m telling you that if you are a dog person, DONT READ THIS BOOK!!!! When I had to read it in school (I just reread it because I found it in my attic) it terrified me...and now I remember why. SPOILER: If you are all for the well-being of dogs and are sad when they get hurt, I would stay clear from this book. <br/>I don’t mean to offend anyone who does like this book, but it made me really sad to read."

"I some what enjoyed this book. I wasn’t expecting it to be so gory, which some what set me off during parts of the read. Just so everyone knows this book is not okay to read with children, some parts gave me nightmares. "

"I love how they describe Alaska and they don’t censor the brutality and betrayal that follows our MC. It’s a quick two day read. It hooked me right on the spot and I couldn’t put it down after the a few chapters."
