I love dogsledding books! No other activity with dogs has such an element of danger, unpredictability, and sense of overcoming obstacles.

This is a great book. One aspect that makes it great is the level of details that I have not read in other books on dogsledding. There even is a bit on outhouses. Love the details, but on another note, they don’t help keep a sustained excitement as the author cuts from the details of the racers in that leg, to the details of the city/checkpoint they are show more going through. For this reason, Winterdance is still my favorite dogsledding book, but I would definitely say this is a must-read for dogsledding books.

I collect quotes and excerpts from books that have some interesting prose or fact, and the way I do it is put a post-it notes where I want to go back and re-read and copy into my list of favorite quotes. I have 10 post-it notes for Racing the White Silence, where as I usually have 2 if I am lucky in most books. A quote has to stand on its own outside of the context of the book.

It is a book I will want to read again in the future. show less
